COVID-19
In order to help reduce the spread of Coronavirus (COVID 19) 4Winds delivered all of its services remotely during the pandemic. We have now returned to our office base and are offering 1:1 sessions in person, as well as two Open Access afternoon sessions in person per week. We also facilitate outdoor peer support sessions and activities in the community. Please contact us for details. We are still here to support you and can be contacted in the usual ways.
Mae'r ganolfan yn darparu
Cefnogaeth Emosiynol ac Ymarferol
During the Open Access sessions the centre provides a safe space for people experiencing emotional distress. There are always at least two workers present at the centre to offer listening support and informal advocacy. Workers at the centre work flexibly, take a holistic approach and promote recovery and independence. They can offer practical support such as providing information on a range of issues/services, offering assistance with issues such as housing and benefits. To see further information on what recovery focused support can be offered please
Cefnogaeth Emosiynol ac Ymarferol
Mae'r ganolfan yn darparu lle diogel i bobl sy'n profi trallod emosiynol. Mae o leiaf dau weithiwr yn bresennol yn y ganolfan bob amser i gynnig cefnogaeth wrando ac eiriolaeth anffurfiol. Mae gweithwyr yn y ganolfan yn gweithio'n hyblyg, yn cymryd agwedd gyfannol ac yn hyrwyddo adferiad ac annibyniaeth. Gallant gynnig cefnogaeth ymarferol fel darparu gwybodaeth ar ystod o faterion / gwasanaethau, cynnig cymorth gyda materion fel tai a budd-daliadau. I weld rhagor o wybodaeth am ba gymorth sy'n canolbwyntio ar adferiad y gellir ei gynnig os gwelwch yn dda
Grwpiau a gweithgareddau i hybu iechyd meddwl a lles da
4Winds recognises that recreational, educational and social activities are important factors in all of our mental health and that they can play a crucial role in recovery; participating in enjoyable and meaningful recreational, educational and social activities can have a major impact on health, well-being and quality of life. We have good links with a range of community organisations and wherever possible encourage people to access opportunities within the community. However, we also deliver a range of groups/activities at the centre; these can provide important taster sessions, rekindle old skills or learn new ones. We are committed to helping people achieve their potential and find that the kind of activities we offer can provide an important first step towards recovery.
‘I was nervous about going to the ballet. I had been very unwell with depression and anxiety and had developed a fear of busy places. However, I used to love going to the ballet and was encouraged to join a group visit. The thought of being with people who understood my anxieties helped. I am so pleased I went, it was wonderful and those couple of hours felt like the longest break I’d had from my negative thoughts in a long time. It did me the world of good and has has rekindled my love of ballet.’
