Social focus group
The social focus service aims to provide a relaxed and enjoyable environment for people over the age of fifty who suffer from anxiety, stress or depression.
Our objectives are
- To help each individual by giving them the confidence and self-esteem needed to progress forward
- To support and encourage each individual to access a variety of activities within their local community
The service aims to help individuals over an initial six month period, during which time assessments will be ongoing and hopefully lead to appropriate placements in mainstream day clubs or other social-based activities within the community.
Do you know someone or do you need support and encouragement to regain these social skills? All information is treated with the utmost confidentiality.
