About the Project
The Vale of Glamorgan Mental Health Floating Support is an outreach service offering tenancy-related support to individuals who have mental health needs and are living in the community. We are based in Barry but cover the whole of The Vale, from Penarth and Leckwith to Ogmore-by-sea.
The support we offer is person-centred and focuses on helping individuals become independent, self-reliant, maintain their tenancy, avoid eviction and provide support to avoid hospital admissions unless necessary. We encourage and incorporate our support in helping the individual to feel part of the local and wider community, in the aim of reducing loneliness, isolation and homelessness.
This Adferiad Vale of Glamorgan housing-related support project is provided over 5 days (Monday to Friday), usually between the hours of 9am and 5pm (this can change and be flexible in line with your needs).
Who do we support?
Adferiad Vale of Glamorgan Outreach Floating Tenancy Support delivers support to individuals (18 years of age and above), across the County of Vale of Glamorgan. We offer support to individuals with mental health issues, with a primary need of housing-related support
How do we do it?
We have a holistic approach to supporting individuals. We believe in a positive, friendly approach that is not judgmental or prejudiced. We will work with an individual at their pace; the support is led by them and what they identify as important to them. Our aim is for each individual to obtain their optimum goal to live independently with confidence and a sense of pride, and to maintain their place in the local and wider community.
Support can include; life skills training; maintaining the safety of a dwelling; budgeting and social skills; as well as taking a holistic approach, which includes physical health as well as mental health and wellbeing.
