Community Based Adult Support Services
Independent Support Service
Independent Support Services have over 30 years’ experience providing 1-1 support to clients with mental ill health. We are a specialist, non clinical, mental health service, with a strong focus on helping individuals to regain their skills and capabilities to improve their quality of life and overall wellbeing.
We aim to improve lives through building confidence and self-esteem. We provide individual target based support programs dependent on needs, requirements and individual goals.
Throughout the program all individuals are supported to make their own decisions and are kept safe by our encouraging positive risk taking. All individuals are treated with dignity and respect and supported throughout their journey by fully trained mental health support workers.
