TEAM

The Team comprises of 9 staff 5 of whom are volunteers who work various hours, throughout the week and 4 paid staff who also undertake voluntary hours. This year the team have completed 5665.75 hours which is an increase on last year’s figures.

We said goodbye to our administrator Rebecca Clayton in May 2023, and we thank her for the support and work she has done in her time at SALT. We would also like to take this opportunity to wish her well in her future adventures.

We welcome Lesley Duke on to the team; Lesley has taken on the administrators post and is settling well into the team here at SALT.

The team continue to have individual, peer, and group supervision. The supervisors continue to have external supervision from Des and Jan Branagh, and we thank them for support they give to the supervisors and the team.

CLIENTS

On the 1[st] of June 2022 we started the men’s work, we have had a good response to this work, which shows the need to offer this support in Plymouth. We have received 23 referrals for the men service which has led to 2 groups undertaking the psychoeducational skills session. Then moving on to their individual session, of which there has been 63 so far. Currently there are 7 men on the waiting list, and we will run the next men’s psychoeducational skills group in November 2023.

The Women’s service has seen a rise in referrals to 105 new ladies from July to June. We closed the waiting list in October and reopened it in May due to the volume of people seeking support and the length of time they would have remained on the waiting list.

The team has carried out a total of 621 sessions. There have been 3 groups undertaken this year of ladies’ psycho-educational Skills sessions, which comprise of 4 sessions. The team have done 39 zoom sessions due to distance or disability issues; this has increased over

Although all clients self-refer to SALT, the majority are initially signposted from many different areas for instance GP practices, Mental Health services, Court workers, and Occupational health services, Counselling services to name a few. We have good links with many of these services within the city and offer support through our resources to them.

The team have also supported relatives or significant people in the client’s life, who wish to understand the need to process trauma and how they can best support the person.
