Wellness Hub
Swan Care Wellness: Is a service providing social and psychological support to individuals with mental health and or learning disabilities.
We also specialise in supporting individuals with long-term health conditions LTC to confidently manage their problems, improve their quality of life and give back to their communities
Social Prescribing
This is a non clinical service that helps to tackle the root cause not just the symptoms. The aim is to help the service user tackle their problem by assessing their needs and exploring options of support in key areas such as physical and social activity, finding employment, cooking skills, healthy eating, benefits and welfare rights and accessing psychotherapy.
Each service user will be allocated a link worker whose role is to help them identify their needs and what is getting in the way of them managing their LTC/MUS.
The service will run social clubs (breakfast clubs, lunch clubs, walking groups and exercise groups) as well as therapeutic groups such as mindfulness, art and healthy eating and cookery groups. Employment and career advise services will also be available within the service. The link worker will be able to signpost individuals to services not offered within Swan Care Wellness.

What to expect from CBT:
- Leaning to understand your problems and what is maintaining them.
- Learning to identify helpful and unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaching you how to let go of the unhelpful thoughts and introduce helpful behaviours and new coping strategies that can help with your current problems as well future problems.
