supporting people to live more independently

Step One supports people to live more independently

We encourage people to take a first step to being in control of their future and fulfilling their potential.

We encourage people to take a first step to being in control of their future and fulfilling their potential

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?

"The service I have received has been exemplary and I would recommend it to anyone. All the staff have obviously been highly trained and are all at the best of their professions. It has sped up my recovery and particularly my sense of wellbeing."

"I was given kindness, care and compassion as soon as I arrived. Things are still fragile but there is light now. There's no way I could have got through this without the help and support I received."

"With the support that we have provided, Step One is now the benchmark for all other providers worked for in Devon."

Things are really tough right now for so many people

If you can, try go outside for a walk today (within guidelines),nature has been scientifically proven to help our mental health

Even a few minutes outside will do you good, often the hardest part is getting out the front door
