WNC are raising awareness of their wellbeing services.

Formerly the Supporting Independence Programme, the new WNC Wellbeing Service, is working alongside Adult Social Care to support individuals, free of charge, to prevent and/or delay any decline in independence. Working with individuals on a one-to-one basis, we can provide tailored, in-house support in several areas of their life and aim to maximise all the support on offer in their local community, reducing the need for health and Adult Social Care services.

Examples of support include:

A reminder that WNC provides 24/7 mental health support through Shout.

24-hour mental health support, 365 days a year is available through your mobile phone.

Just text the word ‘IMATTER’ to 85258 to be connected to a trained Shout Volunteer. The service is open around the clock and can help with issues such as anxiety, stress, loneliness, depression and suicidal thoughts. The conversation, which takes place entirely by text message, aims to help the texter reach a calmer place with a plan to move forward. It will also signpost them to further support available locally.
