Charity Launches Online Support Service

Stoke-on-Trent based mental health charity Changes has launched a new online service to offer sport during the Coronavirus pandemic.

The changeshere4u website provides access to all the services the charity previously delivered in the community.

These include peer support groups and wellbeing training, one to one phone and video support is also available.

In an online statement Changes say existing members and anyone looking for a little extra help in these unprecedented times can 'easily access' their services using their computer, tablet or mobile phone'.

This, Changes say, will 'enable us to continue to support your wellbeing and recovery'.

Many of the courses usually delivered at the Changes Wellbeing Centre based at Victoria Court in Stoke have moved online. These include the popular Recovery, Wellbeing and Making Changes workshops.

Online peer support groups meetings take place on weekdays at 11am, 1pm and 6pm and at 1pm on Saturdays on the Zoom video conferencing platform. There is also a women only meeting held every Tuesday.

The Changes Young People service is also now operating online.

Further details about all the online services can be found by visiting:

The charity would like to reassure long standing members and people new to the service that 'whatever the needs of you and your family during this difficult time, Changes is here for you'.
