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.

"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."
