Woodlands at a Glance

The team at Woodlands recognise that everyone’s journey is unique. We provide a recovery-based approach to support people with mental health problems to live meaningful and satisfying lives.

There is a strong emphasis on supporting individuals with a mental health disorder to achieve their own aspirations and goals.

This approach enables people to achieve their own life goals supporting them to manage their own condition, gain employment, make friends and maintain safe and secure housing of their choice.

How We Can Help You

Woodlands is a 24-hour supported living service for adults aged over 18 with mental health issues.

We recognise that mental illness can affect many areas of our tenants’ lives including their physical health, relationships, work and education.

With this in mind, the Woodlands team aims to provide individualised support to increase each tenant’s confidence and independence and empower them to make their own decisions and choices.

The team places great emphasis on individuals’ strengths and possibilities and not on their problems and difficulties. The team are proud of the environment and the service provided to tenants, all of which promotes positive emotional wellbeing. Tenants are encouraged to attend regular house meetings and to express their views on how they are doing, giving everyone a chance to be involved in the way the service is run
