what we offer

Induction

This is an Induction group for anyone interested in joining Gwellheans groups and activities. It will outline the purpose of Gwellheans, provide information on the groups and activities on offer and provide an opportunity for potential clients to think through their goals and how these goals could be met and supported by attendance at Gwellheans.

From this workshop clients will have developed their own action plan and timescale for involvement with Gwellheans.

Skills for Recovery

Gwellheans is collaborating with Cornwall College to provide accredited programmes and qualifications which meet national standards.

These are designed to provide clients with the inner resources needed to maintain permanent recovery and relapse prevention.

These qualifications will offer clients the opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge, and to be recognised for their achievements in developing skills for learning and for life.

We will be running a number of units, each of which lasts four weeks. There is no obligation to continue after each unit, and clients can discuss with their key worker how they wish to progress.

The units we will be running initially are:

Introduction to assertiveness and decision making
Introduction to understanding and achieving personal learning goals
Understanding diversity in society

All of the units will include subjects like:

anger management handling emotions managing conflict

communication skills understanding self and others

confidence and self awareness

Mindfulness

Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) is a 10 session mind-body approach drawn from Mindfulness-Based practices and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Each class teaches mindfulness practices along with cognitive behavioural exercises to promote abstinence through a skilled response to life’s challenges. Participants will be expected to commit to daily home practices throughout the programme.

Making Choices

The aim of Making Choices is to empower individuals with a range of basic life skills and coping strategies, and to learn about local opportunities and how to access them.

The course is run as a two hour weekly session over 12 weeks. Through the course individuals will build up their knowledge, skills and confidence and will set goals in a range of areas.

Tools For The Future

The overall aim of this group is to maximise the likelihood that those people attending the course will attain long-term, fulfilling employment, training and education.

TFTF is designed to meet the specific needs of participating clients to overcome the barriers they have to moving forward into employment, education, training and voluntary work.

Throughout the course, clients will produce a generic CV, look at covering & disclosure letters, investigate the local labour market, learn effective interview skills, and will receive support with job applications.
