Aspire project boosts wellbeing
Bray Area Partnership’s social prescribing wellbeing project, Aspire, is a free service that supports people with their health and well-being by connecting them up with services and activities in the community.
In these Covid-19 times, it can be difficult to stay connected to the local community and maintain wellbeing and positive mental health.
The team will initially chat to people over the phone or via Zoom about their needs and interests and then refer them on to services and supports that can help or link them into activities that will be right for them. Through regular check-ins the coordinator will support people over 6-10 weeks as they engage with these activities and improve their well-being.
The free Aspire online programme also brings people together in small supportive groups to connect and learn practical skills such as coping with stress, relaxation techniques and self-care during these challenging times.
Aspire is a Healthy Ireland and Sláintecare-funded project.
