Who we are?
Wellbeing Connect Services is the leading Black and Ethnic Minority Mental Health charity in North London with excellent track record in providing valuable and life changing services to families mostly in Enfield for the past 24+ years.
We offer holistic support to families experiencing mental health and domestic violence issues through variety of services such as independent advocacy, specialist advocacy support, self / peer / group support, mentoring and training.
What Underpins this Model?
Strength-based and Holistic Care Model
Identifying what is working well - and identifying the strengths demonstrated as good practice, the 'signs of safety - as being clear about the worries. Narrowing the key factors and conclusions into concise and clear statements of past harm and future danger.
Person / Family Centered Practice
Individual / Family-centered practice is a form of social work brief therapy, that provides time-limited treatments to enable individuals-built resilience and closer to success of maintaining their wellbeing as they complete their sessions. Instead of focusing on the past, the team will be using task-centered practice to focus on the present and how the work individuals do on certain tasks will positively impact their future.
Problem Solving Model
With the problem-solving model, the WCS officer helps an individual identify a problem,& together create an action plan to solve it and implement the solution. Together, the officer and individual discuss the effectiveness of the problem-solving strategy and adjust it as necessary.
