Mental Health Support Services

As part of the Leeds Sensory Services, we deliver mental health support services for people with sensory impairments through the Live Well Leeds partnership.

Within this service, we run a number of health workshops in partnership with Live Well Leeds and schedule these once we have enough people to run a session. These take place at Gallery House, Leeds, LS1 5RD. 

Thinking Non-Visually Workshop

Time: 2 – 3 hours

A session to explore the way we live our life when unable to rely on sight. Becoming frustrated and anxious when unable to use our vision is a common response to living in a sighted world.

Thinking non-visually helps us build resilience for dealing with the world around us and sharing our thoughts in a supportive environment. Join this session to think more creatively to solve problems and build self-confidence

Confidence-Building Workshop

Peer Support Groups

One-off Groups

These are light-hearted sessions that include activities such as mocktail-making or spa-themed days!

From these Live Well Leeds support groups and 1-to-1 sessions, you will benefit from supported self-help and gentle guided therapy that offers a practical step-by-step approach to building coping mechanisms.

Participants may bring a friend or family member with them to Gallery House, to reduce the anxiety of attending a new location or meeting new people alone. As confidential information is shared during these sessions, friends of family will be asked to wait in the seating area. 

If you are interested in joining either workshop, please contact us.
