What we do

The Health & Wellbeing Coaches are hosted by our partners The Well Communities, a peer led recovery organisation which means they have lived experience in all the areas they offer support in. The team works from RLI offering bedside interventions for our patients and at our Heysham Health Centre site offering drop in and booked appointments. The aim is to help those struggling with alcohol/drug, mental health, social anxiety and isolation issues, recover in the community with their continued support.

The team use their own life experience to encourage and empower people to make positive changes in their life and work through any issues to support using the extensive resources available from our service and others in the community. They facilitate a number of local activities to support our population.

They help people:

• Connect with others
• Break down barriers
• Access local support groups
• Become more active, socially, and physically
• Offer emotional support
• Make changes to their lives
