Our Celebration
Care when it counts... Supporting recovery from mental ill health

Mentoring
Advice, encouragement and general support is a vital area of our work for all clients at Our Celebration. Mentors work with course tutors and workshop supervisors to best support clients individually and help them deal with any short term difficulties they may face either in their work, or in other areas of their lives. Mentors help clients develop plans for moving on in their lives, recognising the need to keep well and avoid relapse in their mental health. Mentors also provide information advice and guidance on employment opportunities and further training.
Mentoring at Our Celebration is offered by members of staff who provide both flexible and set hours to best accommodate everyone who attends the service. The Mentors work with approximately one hundred people each year recovering from a range of mental health problems, with about half having severe and enduring conditions such as schizophrenia or bipolar. The Mentors take an active role in a persons care whilst attending the service. They are responsible for organising the referral process to monitoring waiting lists and liaising with care professionals/families as agreed at the initial meeting.
