Peer support can be a valuable component of community mental health services as it promotes empathy, connection and hope.

The kitchen fosters community connections aiming to empower residents with valuable skills. Additionally, it offers specialised support for vulnerable groups, including veterans, the elderly and low-income families, creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and supported.
- Outdoor Therapy: Outdoor therapy, also known as ecotherapy, involves engaging in therapeutic practices in natural environments to promote mental and emotional well-being. It combines outdoor activities like hiking, gardening or nature walks with counselling or mindfulness exercises. This approach helps reduce stress, improve mood, increase self-awareness and foster a stronger connection with nature. Outdoor therapy encourages physical activity, which can improve overall health while promoting relaxation and mental clarity.

Advice services can also help prevent more significant issues by addressing concerns early on and fostering a sense of empowerment and well-being.
