THE PASSAGE Helping Homeless People Lorraine Richardson

Our History We are a Christian Homeless Charity Working with some of the most vulnerable and complex people sleeping rough on the streets of Westminster

Our mission The mission of The Passage is to provide resources which encourage, inspire and challenge homeless people to transform their lives

Emotional Wellbeing Project Aims of the project  To create an information leaflet written and produced by clients  To enable clients to recognise what is good mental health  To provide detailed information on services available  To create a peer mentoring group  To develop client skills

What we are achieving  A safe and confidential environment  Sessions that are led by clients for clients  71 clients attending  Involving local community agencies

Where do we go from here  Produce the leaflet  Introduce new sessions identified by clients  Evaluate the project  Share our learning with other agencies  Develop the project within our own residential projects

What our clients say  “I love this group – I come every week”  “I really enjoy the group I thought it would be just someone talking at us but I felt really comfortable and normal”

What our clients say  “I’ve just realised that by talking to other people in the same situation how many alternatives there are to just taking medication given to me by my GP” “I don’t feel like I’m alone anymore”
