A new project is aiming to help boost people’s mental health in Lincolnshire.

We’ll be delivering the new one-year scheme through Shine Lincolnshire’s Community Asset Development Fund in partnership with Lincolnshire County Council and Lincolnshire NHS Clinical Commissioning Group.

It will help people in towns and villages like Gainsborough, Saxilby, Bardney, Louth and Market Rasen.

It will give people in two areas of the county – people living in the Trent and East Lindsey Primary Care Network areas – access to much-needed support as they look to overcome some of the challenges they face in life.

Support will come through a mix of wellbeing interventions, such as one-to-one sessions, social engagement events and group workshops.

Participants, referred through various routes such as social prescribing, will get confidential time to talk through anything troubling them, regular opportunities to meet new people and chances establish new lines of support.

Confidence and wellbeing courses will also be delivered by our Riverside Training team to help people build coping strategies and enhance their wellbeing.

Hannah Taylor-Dales, Acis Group’s Business Development Manager, said: “Mental health is extremely important so we’re so grateful for the opportunity from Shine Lincolnshire to support people to overcome some of the issues they may be facing.

“Our support will be designed to help increase confidence, self-esteem and general wellbeing. We know from previous experience that having a safe space for people to talk through their worries or feelings can be life changing.

“And we know everyone is different, so a one-size fits all approach won’t work. Everyone who participates in this programme will have a different outcome, based on their own lives and aspirations.”
