Our community in the Gwent region is facing a significant mental health crisis, with increasing rates of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues impacting residents' daily lives. The current mental health services are overwhelmed, leading to long waiting lists and inadequate support for those in need. Many community members are unable to access timely and effective one-to-one counselling due to these extended wait times, financial barriers, and the limited availability of mental health professionals.
Suicide rates in Gwent have risen by 20% in the last year, highlighting the urgent need for more accessible mental health services.
The waiting lists for mental health services in Gwent currently exceed six months, leaving many residents without the support they urgently need.
Due to this crisis, we decided to start our counselling service back in September 2023 and have delivered over 60 sessions to date! We want to grow this service to help as many people as we can. We really appreciate any donation you are able to make no matter how small.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
