Who are our Day Services for?

Our services are for people over 18 with a mental health need who live in the local area and they aim to:

• enable independent living in the community wherever possible.
• support people coming out of hospital and to prevent admission or readmission.
• offer social support for people whose needs are met through care coordination arrangements (the Care Programme Approach, CPA).
• support people with mental health needs who are not part of CPA.

What can our Day Services offer?

• Warm and welcoming, informal settings to lessen isolation by building up confidence, encouraging independence and focusing on your strengths.
• Information that promises informed choice and encourages opportunities in the wider community.
• A listening ear.
• A programme that is reviewed quarterly and responds to the expressed needs of service users.
• One-to-one support, information, access to telephone and I.T. (internet access at Dove House & Saltburn Outreach), FREE tea & coffee, games, books. Access to other materials and resources for individuals e.g. arts materials, stationery.
• Above all a positive people centred partnership!

How & when can I use the Services?

Redcar & Cleveland Mind provide Day Services in Redcar and East Cleveland, funded by Redcar & Cleveland Social Services Department. These services are for people over 18 with a mental health need, who live in the local area.

The Day Services are open 7 days a week, but the opening times vary between services and day to day. Our programme gives details of opening hours and sets out who the Day Services are for, what they offer and staffing arrangements.

Activities provided may change every three months depending on expressed needs from service users. For this reason the programme is updated four times a year.

All our venues are wheelchair accessible and we provide a warm, welcoming and inclusive environment. They also have access to portable induction loops, and we can be contacted by typetalk users. We operate an equal opportunities policy and expect everyone involved with the service to respect our code of conduct.
