Public benefits
What benefit flows from this purpose? Many people across all age groups, socio economic groups and genders, are disillusioned and subsequently disconnected from society as they have no confidence in themselves and as such have little or no hope of a good education, a full time job, house, family etc. We plan to develop them to not only see that
there is hope but to assist in developing their self-worth and self-esteem to see that they have more to offer than they see or believe. We plan to deliver a benefit that will improve the following:- ??Equality, Inclusion & Respect ??Improved Behaviour and Attitudes ??Reduction in school & work place bullying ??Improved participation levels in school, work, social groups and local communities ??Reduced anti-social behaviour ??Higher levels of confidence, resilience and affirmation ??Encourages ambition, builds potential and self-worth ??Reduction in need to self-harm and suicidal thoughts ??Improving mental wellbeing self –awareness and the awareness levels of others ??Reduction in crime ??Challenge racial and sectarian behaviour ??Greater respect for themselves and their community ??Increased optimism and perseverance ??Reduced dependency on drugs and alcohol ??Positive role models Can we demonstrate the benefit? There have been multiple case studies to provide evidence that this programme works along with additional anecdotal evidence to support significant change in attitudes, behaviours and community cohesion post-delivery of our WRAP® training programmes. WRAP® has been recognised as an Evidence Based Practice in the field of mental health recovery. Researchers from the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Illinois recently conducted a study of eighty individuals who participated in WRAP® programmes; the research revealed “significant improvements in symptoms and many psychosocial outcome areas associated with recovery” (Cook, et al, 2009). For over two decades, research studies have validated the fact that significant numbers of people with mental health problems and substance abuse disorders have been able to selfmanage their conditions with positive outcomes. (Onken, Craig, Ridgway, et al, 2007). WRAP® is the most widely disseminated self-management practice in the United States (Roberts & Wolfson, 2004). Is there any harm or possibility of harm? The only harm that we have identified through our risk assessment is the possibility of harm to our staff and volunteers from delegates; this is a moderate to low risk and is outweighed by the substantial benefits delivered through the process of our discussions and activities in training. Who is the benefit for? The organisation exists to benefit individuals within our society who are suffering from mental health issues to develop individuals to become emotionally resilient and to encourage strong role models for the socially vulnerable and at risk within our communities, we aim to impact on the increasing number of people suffering year on year. This will include the following; 1. Specialist wellbeing training and mentoring schemes for Young People and Vulnerable Adults 2. Cross-community alliances to deal with low self-esteem, stress, anxiety and depression 3. Clergy, Missionaries and Youth Workers 4. Providing specific wellbeing training within the workplace environment. 5. Returning Veterans 6. Voluntary Services and Community Clients 7. Support and deliver training to the following minority groups: • Asylum-seekers and refugees • Gay, lesbian, bi-sexual or transgender people • People suffering from mental health problems • Gypsies and Travellers • Migrant workers • Offenders and ex-offenders • Older people who feel isolated within the community • People who have experienced violence or abuse
