MhlST Mental Health Support Team Trustees Report for the year ended 31 March 2025 Talkin Thera ies The last year has been challenging for the talk therapy servico as our contract wlth the NHS I I Point Northwest came to an end in December 2024. This was due to NHS England ¢hanggS and our buslness model utilising volunteers, some of which are on their placement workSng towards qualification. We began winding down the contract in the Autumn and unfortunately had to let go most of our team of 60 voluntear Counsellors du8 lo this contract being the only source ot our referrals Despite our challenges we are Siill pleased we were able to support 436 people over the last year with a team of over 60 volunteer counsellors. The main prosenling issues continued to be bereavement, anxiety and stress, depression and low mood, family and relatlonships. Following our NHS contract finishing, we kept a small number of Gounsellors on and began to launch a new Counselling seNice in the first months of 2025. This was a cultural change for th@ organisation and beneficiaries moving towards a paid-for model. We were pleased to be able to keep costs low for the service users due to using volunteers. We have retained our relationships with training providers and look forward to bullding on thls in future with partners such as: University of Bolton, University ol Salford, Edge Hill Universlty, University of Central Lancashire IUCL4NI, Bury College, Manchester College, and Stockport College. We look forward to continuing to build upon our initial success over the next year to develop partnerships and new referral rDUtes. Self Hel Grou MhlST's self-help groups continued lo grow and develop throughout the year, supporting 436 individuals.
