Change Mental Health is a leading national mental health charity whose vision is a future where no one needs to face mental illness alone. We have been supporting people with mental illness for over 50 years across Scotland. Our mission is to provide transformational support where everyone has access to the support they need, when they need it and in a way that works for them.

About the service:

The Senior Support Workers in the Thrive Early Access Mental Health Service undertake short-term focused work with adults of all ages and from a wide range of backgrounds. They help people to identify what is important to them and the steps they can take to manage their mental health and wellbeing. The workers connect people into community services, clinical treatment options and self-management resources as appropriate.

Along with mental health nurses and other members of the multi-disciplinary teams, the Senior Support Workers staff the Open Access drop-ins that take place within the locality. They work closely with colleagues within health and social care, the wider third sector, and with community organisations across the city, ensuring that the service is accessible to and meets the needs of all sections of the community.
