Mental health needs

Mental health needs can be complex, enduring and deep-rooted. Because of this, our approach focuses on early intervention to help prevent more serious problems from occurring.
Complex needs

Although we support people across the whole range of learning disabilities, we have particular expertise in supporting people with more complex needs – including people who other agencies have not been able to support. We have a strong track record in supporting people to move on and to enjoy a better quality of life.

Our team of directors work across the charity's key functions and geographical divisions to drive the passion and dedication of all our staff.
