Mental Wealth
Support to help you thrive
Mental Health affects how we think, feel, and act. It determines how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. In addition to the impact that mental health has on your day-to-day life, serious mental health issues can affect your relationships, career, education and long-term goals.
We know some of you might need additional support to ensure you thrive at YMCA Milton Keynes. Whether you need some help with anxiety or low-mood or more specialist support with past trauma, our new service, Mental Wealth, will ensure you get the support and help you need, when you need it.
You are in safe hands
In addition to your key-worker who will remain with you throughout your time at YMCA MK, Mental Wealth can support you in a number of ways depending on what you need. Working in partnership with Makewell you will have:
- A designated key-worker
- Access to a specialist nurse
- Access to a Social Worker and group support sessions
- Access to a Psychologist
“I came to the YMCA with a mental health diagnosis, but Jenni normalised it for me and helped me to understand it. She made me realise it was something I could live with.
Now my mental health and home life is settled, I can focus on my future. I’ve always wanted my own pet and to be able to decorate my home, paint and buy the furniture I like. I’m really happy.”
– Katie, YMCA resident
