At FAMS, we are dedicated to supporting the mental health and well-being of adults, young people and families affected by trauma, loss, or suicide. Our comprehensive range of services is designed to provide the care, guidance, and support needed to help individuals and families navigate their journeys toward healing and recovery. We believe in a holistic approach to mental health, offering a variety of services to meet diverse needs.
Counseling Services
Our professional counseling services provide a safe and confidential space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Our trained counselors specialise in trauma-informed care, ensuring that each session is tailored to address the unique challenges faced by those affected by trauma. Whether you need short-term support or long-term therapy, we are here to help.
Befriending
We offer a befriending project that brings together individuals who have shared similar experiences. This provides a sense of community and understanding, allowing participants to share their stories, learn from each other, and receive mutual support. Our befriending covers topics such as grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression.
Educational Workshops
Our educational workshops for families are designed to provide valuable information and practical skills to help them manage their mental health and well-being. Topics include stress management, coping strategies, self-care techniques, and understanding trauma. These workshops are facilitated by our staff when required and are open to the community.
Crisis Intervention
In times of crisis, immediate support is crucial. Our crisis intervention services are available to help individuals and families navigate urgent situations. Whether you are dealing with a personal crisis, a mental health emergency, or need immediate emotional support, our team is ready to assist.
Outreach Programmes
FAMS is committed to reaching out to those who may not have access to traditional mental health services. Our outreach programmes, including community events aim to provide support and resources to underserved communities. We work closely with local organisations, schools, and community groups to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to receive the help they need.
Online Resources
We understand that not everyone can access our services in person. Our website offers a wealth of online resources, including links to articles, videos, and self-help tools. These resources are designed to provide information and support for managing mental health and well-being from the comfort of your home. We have also created a password-protected area for our volunteers and staff to better equip and prepare them to serve the community effectively.
Advocacy and Awareness
FAMS is dedicated to raising awareness about mental health and advocating for the needs of those affected by trauma. We work to reduce stigma, promote understanding, and influence policies that support mental health initiatives. Our advocacy efforts aim to create a more supportive and inclusive community for all.
Family Support Services
Trauma affects not just individuals but their families as well. Our family support services provide counseling, education, and resources to help families navigate the challenges of supporting a loved one with mental health issues. We offer family therapy sessions, parenting workshops, and support groups for family members.
