Rough Sleepers

What is The Rough Sleeper Programme?

The service offers one-to-one mental health support for anyone who is homeless or at risk of becoming homeless using the Five Ways to Wellbeing Model.

The appointments use a strength-based approach to help support the person emotionally and practically, including exploring any barriers a person may face when gaining and maintaining housing.

The service also includes signposting and liaising with community-based teams, such as the Swindon Borough Council Rough Sleeper Team, to ensure the best possible outcomes for this vulnerable group.

S&G Mind also attends the monthly Rough Sleeper Panel meetings to promote a collaborative approach when supporting some of the most vulnerable people in our community.

Do you offer advocacy support in relation to housing?

Although we do not offer advocacy, if you are experiencing problems with your housing and this is impacting on your mental health we can speak to the council and the relevant agencies and relay the impact the accommodation is having on your wellbeing.
