Somerset team,
I have a home now”
Service user from Somerset
Supporting You in Somerset aims to support adults with
Mental Health issues to live the lives they want, in their
own homes, in the community. We can support individuals
in their own homes to develop independence and reach
their full potential. Our support packages are identified
around the support an individual needs, whilst our focus
is on enabling people to achieve their goals and to
become more independent, providing the opportunities
they deserve. The service offers specialist support to
empower and encourage individuals to develop their self
esteem and the skills they need, working towards a level
of independence which is in line with their skills,
confidence and aspirations.

All of our services are shaped to provide individual care
pathways and person centred approaches that encompass
each individual’s needs to achieve positive outcomes and
a transition to more independent living. This, paired with
our personalisation agenda, enables us to help the people

together, we can make a real difference.
If you have an Individual Budget or Direct Payment we can
support you to decide how best to spend your finances to
make sure you can live the life you want.
