Everton in the Community’s women’s mental health and wellbeing project ‘Girls on Side’ has teamed up with Nuffield Health to increase its support for females across Liverpool living with mental health problems.
Launched in June 2014 with Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, ‘Girls on Side’ is an inclusive activity project that provides a range of engaging and exciting sessions. It not only offers a range of therapeutic activities including the chance to learn new skills, but also helps stimulate participants’ imagination, build confidence and increase social contact.
The free activities range from Zumba, baking and web design to walking groups, spa pamper days and photography, with a focus on supporting women who use Mersey Care’s mental health and addiction services through their recovery.
