Additional Information

Transitions is a project run by Exeter Community Initiatives. Transitions trains voluntary mentors who are then matched on a one-to-one basis with clients who have experienced mental health issues and become socially isolated as a result. The voluntary mentor helps them with developing skills to become more independent, such as running a home, budgeting and growing their soical networks.   The aim is to develop their confidence and reslience so that even though they may continue to find life a challenge they will be better able to cope. The support usually lasts no more than six months.
