Mental Health Support
Understand mental health
There is still an absence of understanding about the prevalence of mental health issues. Regrettably there is also some misconceptions and prejudices about poor mental state. There is evidence from research which informs that we experience poor mental and emotional health at some points in our lives – although at different levels
Important to remember about mental health :
- mental ill health is very common – the Government’s Department of Health advises that one in four of us will experience it at some point in our lives.
- staff with positive mental health are more likely to work productively, interact well with colleagues and adapt to changes in the workplace.
- staff supported by their employer are more likely to be able to stay in work or return to work after a period of absence, reducing long-term absences in the organisation.
- staff who feel unable to talk to their manager may attend work when they are too ill to safely carry out their duties,- this could exacerbate their illness leading to longer term sickness absence or could place work colleagues at risk of harm due to unsafe practices.
How Transforming Minds Helps Both the Service User and Family
We understand that caring for someone suffering from mental health conditions can be tough and challenging, often involving friends and family members to take it in turns to provide support as a carer.
The Transforming Minds team helps both the individual and their family by offering the assistance of an experienced carer or team of carers. As our team are caring for the individual, this takes away much of the pressure on friends and family who, up until now, has been solely or partially responsible for meeting the needs of that person.
As part of our services, Transforming Minds will also collaborate with therapists, social workers and other members of the individuals care team, where necessary, to help increase the individual’s independence. This is to help the individual live an independent and fulfilling life as possible. For those suffering from mental health conditions, such as depression, offering the opportunity to speak to therapists and other healthcare professionals can be a great benefit regarding the needs of the individual and managing their condition.
We take a person-centred approach when creating the individual’s care plan, as well as any future changes to it, communicating with the individual, their family and care team at all times to make sure it is reflective of changing needs and is progressive and outcome focussed.
Our mental health support plan includes:
- Support with day-to-day tasks such as cooking, cleaning and shopping
- Provide access to therapists and rehabilitation clinics where necessary
- Additional support to families
- Live-in and/or visiting care

How we help individuals with Autism?
We support individuals who need help in carrying out their daily tasks. We offer various support packages, helping people with their disability in various aspects of their life. Wether it is education, social life or vocational skills, we enable them to achieve a more progressive and secured future.
Every case of autism is unique and different in its own way. Helping people with disabilities by providing them with the tools to cope with their everyday challenges is exactly what we do. We work together to encourage people to live a positive life with our motive and vision revolving around the idea to enhance their capabilities.
At Transforming Minds, we make sure that autistic people are comfortable around us. We involve them in activities so that they share their views and ideas and become more socially connected with each other.
People on the autistic spectrum can find it challenging to take control of their lives. We make sure that each person is getting an effective and tailored treatment that suits them. Our special support, love, and care, help them learn new skills, work with minimum difficulties and interact comfortably. We offer all kinds of support and activities for the service users in our care to enhance their capabilities, so that they can live a more independent life within their community and in society.
Safety and Compliance
Residential care
Our residential care is the best solution when it comes to long-term care. We suggest residential care to people who require extra care and additional support. Our specialists meet the individuals and carry out an assessment to suggest the specific facilities that are important for their well-being. In the residential setting, we encourage people with autism to take part in activities and interact with other peers and staff members. At Transforming Minds, we make sure the individuals are living a life they were accustomed to. We make sure they are comfortable and satisfied with our residential support.
Education
At Transforming Minds, we help individuals learn new skills. We monitor their performance to make sure they are developing their understanding skills with time. We put our efforts into involving them in discussions so that they learn socialising and interacting with new people with ease. We not only teach them in our accommodation but also help them access education. We do a thorough research to find the best possible schools suited for them where they can get quality education. Our aim is to provide them with opportunities so that they can pursue their dreams and goals. We believe that they should be given equal chances as anyone else and make sure they are learning and experiencing something new every day.
Employment opportunities
With our vast network, we help service users with autism seek employment. At Transforming Minds, we focus on making individuals independent by supporting and guiding them. We strive to guide them in the right direction, where they can utilise their potential to set new targets and achieve their goals. With us, you can rest assured that your loved one will get incredible opportunities to work at their best.
One-to-one discussions
One of the challenges faced by people with autism is the difficulty to interact and socialise. To help them overcome this, we involve them in discussions where they can share what they feel and what they want. Our specialists have face-to-face conversations with individuals where they are encouraged to tell their stories and how they want their life to be, to make them less hesitant to interact and communicate.
