Services

Crisis support

In providing crisis support, we use our skills and experience to respond to an individual or organisation within our community during times of need, in relation to thoughts or plans of suicide, or a death by suicide. We have a wealth of experience in Community Crisis Trauma Response and have designed a bespoke package, specifically to ensure that an organisation in need receives exactly the support required at that time. Future skills and training are also delivered as part of this package to help ensure partnership working, support, and preventative measures if required in the future. We have designed plans which take a holistic approach to a person or organisation in need. The approach focuses on the potential ripple effect, assessing ongoing risk and need. Throughout our response, we work closely with the organisation, key personnel and leaders, to ensure everyone receives the right support, adapting immediately to any changes, and providing any reassurance or guidance needed. If you would like to discuss crisis response, our approach or arrange training for your team or organisation, please contact us.

THE WELL KIDS -Our kids are the most important people in our lives. We not only want, but we also demand the absolute best for them, after all, they are the next generation. The Well Kids ensure any worries or concerns are quickly and easily addressed to help keep your wee ones on the right path. This is a special initiative running once a week at the hub to encourage the younger members of the community to get talking about mental health, promote resilience and build confidence throughout our community. The Well Kids is a bespoke project, designed for local children, valuing their presence and contribution to the community here. Every child is precious and deserves the best start in life.

EDUCATION & TRAINING - We know that talking about suicide can be daunting due to the level of stigma that still exists in our community. Our training is delivered by trained facilitators who will support and reassure you whilst you learn. The training we provide aligns with LivingWorks Education which means we deliver safeTALK and ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training). These workshops focus on a community-wide, collaborative approach that empowers everyone to play a role. We feel it is vital that everyone trained by The Well is aware that we are more than a training provider. Usually, other organisations deliver training and then leave…fair enough really! However, if The Well is delivering training within our area or surrounding community, we ensure we are available for any queries or issues arising.
