How we work with you…
Welcome to the Somerset Mental Wellbeing
Service (SMWS)
Promoting Mental Wellbeing through connecting
with your community.
We recognise that mental health needs come in a variety of
shapes and sizes, so we don’t assume that your diagnosis defines
you.
We aim to support individuals across Somerset to improve and
maintain their mental wellbeing through access to community
resources and opportunities.
The service is available to those who wish to improve their mental
wellbeing to reduce the impact on their lives with meaningful
support.
You might know what you want to access, but be unsure where to
start, or you might not know exactly where you want to be –
either way we can help you. Things you might want to consider
accessing:
•
Local sport or leisure facilities

Groups
•
Social activities
•
Clubs

‘The support had a huge positive impact on my mental wellbeing - I feel more confident, I was at a very low point
and I now have strategies to move forward’
‘It has really helped my confidence that I was taken on the bus into town. Also, it has made me think about my
goals, what I want to achieve and what I want out of life. This has actually contributed to a forthcoming house
move as I have decided to move to an area where I know more people and there is more of a community
atmosphere.’
‘The Wellbeing Navigators involvement made me realise that the services here are better than I’d experienced in
the past – I had little trust before. She made me feel that we were worth something and gave me confidence. We
are in a much better place now.’
