About the Project
The Swansea Seibiant service, based in Uplands, provides breaks for carers by supporting the cared for in the community. We support individuals with mental health challenges, offering personalised guidance and help to maintain and build upon their independence. We understand that caring for a loved one can be overwhelming at times, and so our service aims to provide support to carers who may feel isolated, overwhelmed or in need of advice with their caring role. We equip users with coping skills and tools, focusing on a whole-person approach to better understand and manage their mental health. This empowers users to lead a fulfilling life with less reliance on their carer.
Who do we support?
We offer support to individuals aged 18 years and above, living within the Swansea area, who experience mental health challenges. We also support their carers, whether they are friends or family. Support offered is tailored to the needs of
the individual; it can be provided within the community by attending our building located within the Uplands Swansea office, or over the telephone and via video call. Support is also available via many of the drop-in locations that we attend on a regular basis.
How do we do it?
We provide both one-to-one and peer support for users. Our service uses a whole-person approach to support, with a focus on: social wellbeing, employment and training, finances, physical and mental wellbeing, as well as self-care. We aim to
support individuals to set and achieve realistic goals one small step at a time, promoting their independence. We also have a weekly walking group for peer support and can provide signposting, emotional support, and advice.
