Rise & Shine

About Rise & Shine

Rise and Shine will be an Elmore only Service (previously we were partnered with Connection Support)

·         Rise and shine will have a specific focus of working with older adults (63+) and is currently only accepting referrals from this age group.

·         This service will remain a brief intervention service floating support service, aiming to support people with clear goals they are currently struggling with now.  This may be for a few sessions, e.g. to link someone in with local services and reduce isolation, or a longer piece of work (up to a maximum of 6 months) for e.g. focusing on graded exposure or support with a complex benefit issue. 

·         This service is for anyone, from more short-term less complex mental health issues to those experiencing more complex needs or long-term mental health issues. 

·         The main requirement of this service is that the person is hoping to work towards a specific goal and that the goal suitable for a brief intervention (rather than a longer-term service), rather than any specific diagnosis or cluster number. 

·         The only areas we do not support with are; organic mental health issues (e.g. dementia) or entrenched hoarding issues (due to us deeming a brief intervention as counterproductive in these instances).

·         We now have a referrals email address: riseandshine@elmorecommunityservices.org.uk.
