The Haven provides timely and responsive programmes of support to help families across North and South Lanarkshire, affected by life limiting illness (e.g. cancer, Parkinson's, M.S, dementia and those in the covid-19 high risk and shielding categories) to cope with the physical, emotional and practical aspects of illness and/or caring responsibilities and to enable them to face the future positively and with hope. The Wellbeing Toolkits project will provide vulnerable clients with therapeutic resources bespoke to their individual needs to enhance Haven programmes of care and help them progress towards personal outcomes. Funding will support the delivery of this project by contributing towards the core staff salary costs of Project Co-ordinator (overall responsibility for project development and delivery, monitoring, evaluation and impact measurement), Emotional Support Practitioners (collaboratively identify client needs; provide dedicated and ongoing emotional support; support clients to make use of toolkit resources; identifying emerging client needs to steer further project development) and Admin Co-ordinator (supporting administrative processes – ordering of resources and posting toolkits). This project aims: to improve the emotional and mental wellbeing of Haven clients; increase self-management skills; build resilience; reduce stress and anxiety; and reduce the impact of loneliness and isolation.

We aim to offer support and respite to carers and those affected by life-limiting illness, improving emotional and physical wellbeing.

Our Haven carers have fedback to us that as well as the 1:1 support provided within The Haven Model of Care they really would gain a lot from increased group sessions. The request for funding is that we would like to commission The Kinharvie Institute to deliver a bespoke training course on facilitation skills. The Kinharvie Institute aim to facilitate individual and organisational change. Their expertise is in facilitating people to think creatively and act courageously in achieving the organisation's mission. Our service delivery team are the best suited staff members to take these group sessions, however to ensure that our clients outcomes are continued to be met, that boundaries are being maintained and everyone is getting their needs met through these additional activities these team members will benefit from Facilitation Skills training. This particular kind of skills training will not only give our service delivery team increased facilitation skills but it will enable them to work in an assests based way which will link in directly to the WIN model of care practiced at The Haven. The facilitators would work with us in advance to create a training course that would meet all of our desired outcomes. The training will enable our service delivery team to guide our carers through group activities to ensure the self-identified outcomes of carers are met. For example, following training our staff will be able to: Set boundaries It will be important to set ground rules and objectives as well as building in time for reflection. In order to achieve individual and group outcomes, the facilitator would need to know how to help the group to establish session activities that are reasonable and achievable within the time of the group. They will also need to know how to keep within the boundaries. Remain impartial Our facilitators will need to know how to remain impartial. They will need to build skills in influencing the group but not dominating it. Understand the group dynamics Training will help our team to understand the process on how people feel about taking part. The training will guide them in how to unlock the potential of the group to achieve its goal. Use their personal style A facilitator should bring their energy and personality to the group to create an open and honest environment. This will enable our carers to open up and lay their trust in the group. Intervene when appropriate Training will show the team how to be continuously aware of what's going on, how to make sense of it and how to decide what to do about it. Challenging the group can be tricky to handle as difficult questions may need to be asked which is why it is so important that our team are trained properly on how to do this. Handle difficult situations Dealing with possible conflict within groups is the biggest challenge to effective facilitation which again is why it is so vital that our team are trained in the best way possible.

We want to provide one-to-one and small group relaxation therapy from our quiet room for people affected by life limiting illness.
