A word from our CE.O- Gez Walsh
Platfonnl has always been a Service that responds to the
needs of the community which it serves. I think it's fair
to say that over the past few years there have been
many thallenges that the cornmunity has had to ta￿.
We thought that things woukl improve once the Covid
restrictions were eased and life got back to some
semblance of no￿ality, how wrong we￿1
The recent government revelations of things that took
pla￿ durirg Covid of people not obeying the rule have
opened up wounds for people who watched loved ones
die without being able to to hold them. This has created
lots of Issues whlch we are beln8 presented wlth at the moment. We also have the cost of lfvln8
crisls which is becomlng a major Issue for the community and charities alike as funding dlsappears
along with the support which they offer. Platfonn I has also had to readdress and rtrevaluate our
serv1￿.
We have pared back our outgolngs and merged services. Our 'Safe SThte' suffered a masslve flood
over the Chrlstmas pedod then was violently vandalised, leaving It not flt for purpose. We are now
concentrating on early intepéention and worklng alongslde GPS. We had made slow Inroads with
schools last year but we now have contracts wlth certain schools whith we hope to expand. We
have been inforrned by GP'S that 75% of all their appointments are non•medical. They refer
people for the help they need only to have them bounce back to the surgeryi we have started onlv
to tske referrals from GP'S to allevlate this problem.
We have developed a really stron8 and passlonate team of counsellors which are skilled In dealin8
wlth many dlfferent Issues that people may present wlth. The team is made up of people from all
walks of life, genders and ethniclties. Thls glves us more capacrty to help people feel at ease when
they arrlve for an appolntment.
We have a dedlcated trustee board who work wlth the senior management givin8 advice and
support. The board now thinks tt's time to expand and kn)k for more trustees to strengthen the
charlty and help it to develop and expand.
The charity, as always. is mown8 forward, helplng those most in need In our communlty. We are
offering the servI￿S that are most pertlnent to the people we support. Wlth all the difflculties
whlch charltles face at thls time Platfomi l strlves to adapt, develop and meet the needs of the
people who most need the help.

Objectives and Artivities
PlatFomi l is a 'hands on, mental health charity based in the heart of Huddersfield, offerin8
support to the community and throughout the county. Our service is run by qualified mental
health professionals and counsellors.
We work with people who have complex needs and are from all back8rounds and experiences.
Our services help a variety of mentsl health needs from anxiety. stress and isolation to severe
depreslon, psychosls, trauma. bereavement and long-term addittions. We speaalise In working
with those who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts. those who have attempted suicide and
also the famllles of those who have lost a I0￿d one through sulcide.
We also offer a crlsls servlce where people can 8et support and practlcal help for Issues whSch thev
flnd difficult to deal wfth. This Is a useful means of helping people who may need further help but
cannot attain any meanlngful Snvolvement because of practical Issues such as houslng or benefits.
We now only re￿1ve referrals from dortors. Thls Is to reduce the strain on GP'S who are stru881in8
to find the ri8ht help for thelr clients.
Our work In schools has developed to the polnt that we are working wlth all a8e ranges from the
little ones right up to six fomi. This is an early intervention project which is hi8hli8hting abuse and
Identlty issues. We use our'Listening Dog, for the little ones to galn trust and information. We also
offer counselllng for older students and for teachers, dealin8 wlth student Sssues such as sexuallty,
Identlty and abuse.
Our ethos Is to treat the person not the dlagnosls, to glve tlme and support when St Is most
needed for as long as It Is needed.

Crisis and Counselli￿ Support Lead - Brldget Fahy
Crisis- The word uisis covers many meanings. for us crisis
Is a stste where people are finding the moment a difficult
place to be. This can be for many diffe￿nt reasons and
often people feel that their rea50n is"trivial". We belheve at
PFafftimi I that no difficulty is trivlal If It is effecting your
ability to cope with daily life andlor causing your well-beln8
to be effected.
Sometimes the "smalTesff problem can grow into an issue
that can envelope a person's life leaving them unable to
cope with daily living which can often lead to further
difficulties therefore exaorbatln8 their mentsl health difflculties. Early interventlon Is always
better than a cure.
Where the need for crlsls support Is recognlsed. the dlent wlll attend weekly, usually for
approximately a month to support them through the crisis. When their mental health state has
become more stable they wlll then be offered counselllng to help them to develop confldence and
coplng strategles needed to naV￿ate the ups and downs of life. The cllent will then be matched to
a counsellor whlth would best suit thelr temperament and mentsl health drfflculties.
Late one Sunday evenln8 one of our crisis team members recelved a call from the poll￿ re8ardln8
a cllent who had recently begun uslng our crlsls Serv1￿ due to breaklng up wlth hls wlfe and
recently belng ostraased frorn hls religion due to dlfferlng opinlons wlth other members. He had
been reported mlssing by hls wife and was a hlgh sulcide rlsk. He would not answer the phone to
his wife, nor the police, and they asked our team member to try to get in touch with him. She
phoned hlm several tlmes wlth no answer and then reached out vla text. He then began to
respond to texts and would only speak to our staff member w he agreed that we could meet him
at hls location and then would speak to the police and confirm that he was safe. Two of our crisis
team then met hlm on Marsden Moor and spoke with him and phoned the poll￿. After g)
mlnutes he was ready to be drlven home and police infomied agaln $0 that they could meet hlm
there to conflrm that he was safe. Followlng thls he had a dally appolntment wlth our crlsls team
and has since moved on to weekly counselling sessions. He is now more confident and hopeful for
the future. He hès begun to aC￿pt and give himsetf pemiission to make his own choices in life and
he has worked through his traurnatic thildhood expertences whKh prevented him from doing this.

C¢)unsellln8- is l-l tslklng therapy sessions which help with a wide range of emotlonal problems
whlch are havlng an effert on a person's rnental health.
When a referral is received. we assess thelr dlfflcultles and needs over the phone. 8y doing this it
can be determined whether counselling can begin or rf the individual may need crisi5 SUPPOrt to
ensure that they are ready to CornMen￿ counselling. The individual wlll recelve a further and
more comprehensive assessment face to fatt wlth their potential counsellor to ensure that they
are both happy to begSn the counsellln8 prooss and that an effective therapeutlc relatlonship can
be formed.
Once counselllng has been offered thwi wlll rece￿ 10 weekly counsellin8 sessions, after whlch
the coun5ellor and client will decide rf they require additional sesslons. If this is agreed the client
wlll ￿e1ve a further tlve more sesslons. The counsellors do have the dlscretlon to offer
furthermore six on a monthly basis if they feel this is needed. This provides for security and
support to help the person to move on without the weekiy sesslons whilst offerlng mental health
maintenance.
On completlon of counselllng our dlents are Infornied that should they need counselling In the
future they can possibly self-refer back into our serwce, where, If thelr fornier counsellor Is
avallable, they can access more 5eSslons wth them. But they wlll have to Sit an assessment to
determlne whether other strate8les would be more approprlate to help the person.
Durfn8 Aprll 2022- Marth 2023 a totsl of 3156 hours of counsellln8 were completed..
The services attessed were; counselling (96%), ulsis support142%), welfare (22%1- some people
used a combination of all servlces.
Mary Is a lady who contscted us during the first lockdown of Covid having been re￿ntlY
discharged from statutory mental health Se￿￿$, havln8 been with them for over 10 years,
wlthout warnlng at a recent appolntment. One of our crisis team offered her a weekly welfare call
and this increased her trust in us and she e%*ntually agreed to attend a weekly counselling
session. When she started counselling she struggled a lot as she Is registered blind and her anxiety
was increased by her fear of using public transport. Through counselling she has developed the
confidence to overcome her PTSD from trauma in early childhood and has learned to cope wtth
any triggers for anxiety she experien￿5 day to day. She has become more independent and
spend5 more time out of her home using public trdnsport to Nisit friends and get to support groups

where she has overcome her mistrust of people. She now has a monthly mentsl hea￿h
rna1ntenan￿ appolntment wlth her counsellor whtch wlll soon be finished and she expresses her
confidence in continuing her new way of INing.
Counsellln

As a result of our counselling Se￿ICe, we have recognised the need for mental health maintenance
for some of our clients. Where someone has experienced trauma that may be triggered followin8
the end of our sessions we decided to run support groups ￿levant to the issues that were
prominent through our counselling practise. By doing so we hope to maintsln thelr mental health
by supporting each other and reinforcing the coping strategies they have developed through
counselling. The group sessions wlll also Indude relevant professionals who will attend to give
talks on topics suggested by members. The counselllng SUPPOrt groups Include:

As we reserve Tuesdays for women onty our women's groups take place on a Tuesday at lo:3￿ 12
and 1-3pm. The groups give women a space to offload their difficultie5 and support each other.
The ages of women who attend range from 18-65 which allows them to understand difficulties
from a wide range of perspectives and experien￿. The ladies stay in touch wrth each other, in
between appointments, via Platform I women's Facebook group or their WhatsApp group. Within
the group, issues that arise include, mentsl health. parentin& family relatFon5hips, self-confidence
and self-worth, financial difficulties and physical health. Our women's 8roups have been really
successful wlth weekly sessions. Durlng these sessions they have completed craft projects. had
cake parties and developed the abilty to rdtionalise their own difficulties by Ilstening to others.

Keeping to the theme of our women only day Tuesday, our menopause group takes place at our
dinical site on Tuesdays at 10.'30am. The group consists of women In varlous sta8es of
menopause which encourn8es them to share their feelings and experlences and to develop
solutions to help each other through the physical and emotional changes they are stru88lin8 to
cope wlth. The group Is peer led but with a qualified counsellor facilitating. This group has been a
lifeline for our members as It helps thern to understand that they are not alone In experiencing the
mental, physical and emotlonal difficulties of going through the menopause. Thls alone can help
their mental health as they galn a greater understandin8 of not only what they are 80ing through
but also the medicatlon available to ease some of these symptOrnS.

Our prostate cancer 8roup has been a huge Suc￿sS wlth regular attendees of at least 20 men per
session. Thls Is held on the flrst and thlrd Monday of the month and is faalitated by a qualified
counsellor who also has prostate cancer and recelved recent treatment. Thls Is a peer led group
dealing wlth symptoms, dlagnosls. treatment. and the effects of ha¥ln8 prostate The prostste
cancer 8roup has become so successful that It has developed a life of Its own. The group quickly
outgrew our premlses arKI had to be moved to the Lawrence Batley theatre to accommodate the
amount of men who were usln8 the servlte.
The fact that the group Is now so bwd It has had to be developed as a separate entlty and has its
own identity but still works in assoclation with Platfomi l. The group Is changing the way men
vlew prostate cancer, they work out in the community and work tirelessly offering advice and
promoting pr05tate testln& while belng supported by the hospitsl staff at both Calderdale and
Huddersfield hospltals.
The group now has members from all walks of Ilfe and ethnkities. They offer peer SUPPOrt while
also work with men that are finding their diagnosis difficult to accepL Thls dual approach to cancer
support seems to be payin8 huge dividends.
The support the men give to each other has also continued outside of the group through the use
of a WhatsApp group and firm friendships have been formed wlth some men meetlng for a coffee
in-betsyeen sessions. We organise regular 5e55ions where professionals have attended to give
talks and support on issues relevant to prostate cancer such as catheter use and management and
erectlle dysfunction.

Women's, Prostate Can￿r Su
ort Grou
Through the knowledge we gained from the issues experienced by the rnen in our prostate group
we recognised that their partners may also need support so we have recently started a women'5
prostate group. In this group the partners are given the opportunity to speak about how thelr
partnerfs diagnosis has also affected them and their relationship in a safe and confidential setting.
From the very first sesslon it was obvious that they felt relieved to Sha￿ their fears with each
other, knowing that everyone understood and had experienced something similar. The women
have expressed interest in having professionals visit to speak to them about any concerns they
may have and this is currently being organised. They keep in contact with each other via a
WhatsApp8roup and will be attending monthly.

What started as a request from a teather In a school who had used our serv1￿$ has now changed
the way we now see the work we offer.
We were orlglnally asked to go into a k)cal school to work wlth a mother and a chlld. The chlld was
In danger of being remoN*d from the custody of the mother. Thls work Is complex and always
Involve5 lots of services and others connected wlth the family. We were struck by how disjolnted
thls prooss was. We also had figures of our own that 75% of men aged between 45 and 65 that
use our service are 5ufferlng from hlstorlcal sexual abuse which has gone untreated or recognised
leaving these men to Irrfe qulte chaotic lives. Early intervention is always better than a cure. Wlth
this in mlnd we have focused our attention on how we can offer help when needed to schools to
create early Intervention porta15 ond offer help to the schools and students when it is most
needed. not 18 months later.
From Aprfl 22 to Marth73 we worked in three schools within ￿rklee5. In thls time we have:
Facllltated 12 workshops to 960 students
Provided I:1 counselling to 9 students
Supported 15 farnilies in collaboration wlth schools
Collaborated with 9 staff members to support them to help indiv¥Jual student difflcultles.

Rernntly we have been approached by more 5dKJols and have found just how difficult it Is for
school staff to gain access to rnentsl heatth seplices for their students. There are long waiting
times and it is often difficult to get an assessment. We have therefore put a package tO8ether to

A word from our Chalrnian Ph511p Clark
Platfomi I has had more than Its falr share of obstades to
overcome SIn￿ Its birth in 2018. The strength of the charlty
has always been the commitment and dedication of both the
sLth and the board. Like lots of charities nationwide, recent
tlmes have brought new challenges for cllents, staff and the
board. The staff and the board have had to deal wlth a lot of
self- sacrifi￿S to help the communlty they care for so much.
The fundlng may have started to dry up but the dedicatlon
and the service never faulted, I'm happy to say that we have met the thallenge head on and
boUn￿d back stronger and more resilienL
We are now at a new point in our evolution. We are talkin8 With heads of ser¥ios and wlth
polltlcian5. We also halo farnous patrons such as Eamon Holmes who understand and support the
work we do and enable us to promote and Improve our profile.
We are now ready for the next chapter.
