A Wellbeing Assistant is someone who can help you feel better and do things that might be hard for you. They can help you with tasks that make you feel worried, like getting ready to move or filling out forms. They can also help you with things you do every week, like shopping or going to fun events.

Here’s how a Wellbeing Assistant can help you:

  • Teach you how to take care of yourself both physically and mentally, so you can live on your own and have a good life without problems.
  • Help you learn everyday skills like managing money, cooking, and taking care of your home and yourself.
  • Make sure you feel like you belong in your community and help you make friends and find fun things to do.
  • Support you in keeping and building relationships with people who matter to you.
  • Give you practical help with things like money, finding a place to live, and other things you need to do every day to stay well and independent.
  • Help you have more say in your life and feel hopeful about the future.

To find out whether you are eligible for a personal budget you can have an assessment with a Care Coordinator from the Community Mental Health Team, or a Social Worker from the council’s social care team. If you need help getting an assessment arranged please ask here: [email protected] and we’ll be able to support you.

Alternatively, you can access the support of a Wellbeing Assistant privately for £18ph.
