What the Wellbeing Team will do

They will work with you to explore your individual needs and develop a co-produced plan to help create positive life changes. The personalised support can be delivered over a number of sessions; this will give you the time and confidence to work on the underlying issues which are affecting your overall health and wellbeing.  They will signpost you to services, agencies, groups and organisations that would benefit you, for practical and emotional support.
