Our mental health teams form part of the Living Well Derbyshire programme that is developing across Derbyshire, working together with health and voluntary sector services to provide joined up mental health and wellbeing support. Living Well Derbyshire ensures that support is joined up, focuses on the whole person’s needs and can be easily accessed from the community.
The Derbyshire Recovery and Peer Support Service is delivered in partnership between Rethink (the lead provider), People, Potential, Possibilities (P3) and Derbyshire Federation for Mental Health (DFMH), and Derbyshire Mind. The service helps people across Derbyshire to improve and maintain their mental health and wellbeing. It will assist them to reconnect with their local community by offering access to targeted one-to-one goal-based support, telephone support, community groups and accessing wellbeing hubs. Peer supporters are people with lived experience of mental health difficulties, who use their experiences to support other people, their families and carers who are accessing mental health services.
For more information on the groups and wellbeing hubs in Derbyshire, you can use the Rethink Mental Health Support Map or you can contact the service directly to make a referral, email derbyshirerecoverypeersupportservice@rethink.org or tel: 01773 734989.
Staff from the Derbyshire Recovery and Peer Support Service also provide support to people as part of the developing community mental health offer, Living Well Derbyshire.
The Mental Health Enablement Service is a short-term service we offer. The team support people with mental ill health to develop the skills they need to improve their quality of life and develop confidence in daily living tasks.
