Step One has been supporting people in Devon with their mental health for over 80 years, working closely with local NHS Trusts, GP surgeries and communities.
It is widely acknowledged that the global pandemic is likely to have a major impact on the number of people seeking support for their mental health, and NHS services will struggle to meet that sharp rise in demand.
We have launched BeWell@StepOne to provide support to as many people as possible across Devon through online courses, support groups and learning opportunities. We aim to use our experience of providing support services to reduce the pressure on our local NHS services and help individuals to manage their own mental health, and through peer groups support others’ in their communities.
Our online courses are free to anyone living in Devon and are run by professional, qualified and supportive tutors with lived experience of mental health conditions.
