Frances Philpott 13 Lower Cairncastle Road Larne BT40 1PG Telephone number 01574 279580 Brief description of project Objectives Accommodation and support scheme designed to meet the needs of people aged 20-60 years old in the Larne/Carrick area, who have experienced mental ill-health. These people would usually have found their way into continuing care or rehabilitation wards of local psychiatric hospitals. The scheme allows a choice of support ranging from a comprehensive care package to largely independent living with very little formal support. The accommodation is on a self-care basis and tenants are expected to look after themselves whilst receiving social services to ensure each tenant is receiving the most appropriate care. The Larne scheme also provides a drop-in facility and operates a calendar of social events/activities. Referrals to the scheme are made by a care professional. Praxis aims to improve the quality of life of people who experience, or are vulnerable to, mental ill-health through promoting independence of such individuals and encouraging their integration into the local community. In order to provide full and integrated services to people who have experienced mental ill-health Praxis is committed to collaboration with other agencies, statutory and voluntary, in the pursuit of its aim. Outcomes: Planned • Extension of scheme to include Glenarm/Carnlough area. • Proposed provision of residential home to cater for the needs of local people. Actual • Accommodation and support scheme (6 places) and home response facility. • Drop-in and Ladies Group facilitated. • Provision of social activity/calendar of events.
