We are Step One.

We work with a diverse range of people who may have a mental health issue and/or a hidden disability such as an autism spectrum condition.

Our supportive staff work in the community and at our dedicated facilities, including a newly refurbished hospital and supported living residences.

Part of our approach is considering a person’s wider wellbeing which could be affecting their mental health, their ability to work, or to be a part of their community.

As well as supporting individuals, the ‘BeWell@StepOne’ project aims to support communities and businesses to understand and support their own, and other’s, mental health and wellbeing through online and face-to-face learning opportunities and supportive groups.

We are a Devon-based charity with over 80 years’ experience in providing specialised support throughout the county.

Do you, or does someone else, need help now?

💬 If a friend or family member opens up about feeling suicidal, listen carefully to what they say and respond with compassion.

You don't need to find an answer. Listening lets them know you care.
