Mental Health and Wellbeing
Mental health is about how we think, feel and behave. One in four people in the UK have a mental health problem at some point in their lives that affects their daily life, relationships or physical health.
Mental health problems can affect anyone, regardless of age, race, gender or social background. Without care and treatment, mental health problems can have a serious affect on the individual and those around them. Every year more than 250,000 people are admitted to psychiatric hospitals and over 4,000 people commit suicide.

Hafal Denbighshire helps people with severe mental illness and their families to work towards recovery. All our services are underpinned by Hafal's Recovery Programme which empowers clients and families to take control of their lives and achieve recovery.
Hafal's Recovery Programme is a modern approach to dealing with mental illness.
As an organisation managed by its members - people with experience of severe mental illness and their families - Hafal has drawn on many years' experience in dealing with severe mental illness to make the Recovery Programme as effective as possible.
What's the Programme about?
Hafal's Recovery Programme isn't just about medication or other therapies which deal directly with symptoms. These can be very important, but mental health is built on much broader foundations.
For any one individual the biggest step to recovery may be finding a place to live, getting a job, establishing a good relationship with their family… usually there are a set of different things which are important to an individual's recovery.
This is where Hafal's Recovery Programme comes in. When individuals experience severe mental illness, the Recovery Programme offers them a more methodical way of improving all aspects of their lives.
How does the Recovery Programme work?
The Recovery Programme encourages you to take a "Whole Person" approach, looking at the following areas of your life in order to move forward:
In the process, the Programme covers all aspects of Hafal's local service including:
|
