Keystones
Keystones offers a combined service of support, housing, and therapy for those experiencing complex mental health needs.
Our approach is open, inclusive, skilled and creative. Through our work we strive to be continuously curious about mental health and consider the effects of trauma while validating people’s experiences.
As a service, we aim to give people a fair chance to recover and maintain a hopeful outlook while building a sense of community. We believe a trusting working relationship and a sense of belonging are key to supporting people effectively. Through our use of creative psychotherapeutic practices and the diverse backgrounds of our team, we aim to ‘walk alongside’ residents on their journey towards realising their potential.
Keystones focuses on empowering residents and emphasising their unique strengths and individuality. Open-mindedness and compassion underpin all that we do.
Setup
Keyworkers and individual service users work together to agree individual weekly planners and worksheets which focus on the specific needs identified in the care plan and ongoing tailoured internal reviews.
Service Vision
Keystones strives to be continuously curious about mental health and support all individuals to realise their potential and build community. We are committed to achieving this through open, inclusive, skilled and creative action. In addition, we aim to be of service to the wider community through raising awareness about mental health.
