Valued Lives

Valued lives is a non-profit organisation providing care and support to individuals with mental ill-health in Cornwall. We work across 2 community based teams, supporting people with acute mental health conditions, and those with progressive neurological disorders inc. dementia. Our person centred home care service is outcome focused, and promotes 'The 5 ways to wellbeing'. Our progressive team work with individuals from early diagnosis through to palliative stages of care, ensuring that they receive not only the physical care that they require, but the emotional support to assist them and their families throughout such difficult journeys. Support is designed in a way that makes sure individuals get to continue living the lifestyle that they enjoy, promoting independence and continuation of community access and leisure activities. The people using our service will choose the team that works with them, and be involved in all aspects of care planning. Our community based support service for people with acute mental health conditions is aimed at early intervention and early discharge for individuals to avoid hospitilisation . We provide rehabilitation and enablement programmes, life coaching and alternative therapies, as well as home visits for social care support. Aside from our Care & Support services we are also launching a number of community projects. Included in these is our 24 hour suicide prevention service, and our 'big weekend' project which offers recreational activities and outings based around 'The 5 ways to wellbeing' for people who are subject to social exclusion.
