Paid opportunities to support a new Home Placement Project

Paid opportunities to support a new Home Placement Project

As part of the Ethnicity and Mental Health Improvement Project (EMHIP), The Trust is working with the Wandsworth Community and Empowerment Network and our local Integrated Care System to support a new Home Placement Project.

EMHIP is a long term project that aims to reduce ethnic inequalities in access, experience and outcomes of mental health care - part of this is about supporting reintegration into the community following a period of mental ill health.

 

The Home Placement Project is looking for African and Caribbean families with a spare room who can host community members (18-65) during their mental health recovery journey as an alternative to hospital care. Stays may range from a few days up to two weeks. Clinical support for the guests living in your home will be provided and families will receive full training, ongoing supervision, support and payment.

 

By taking part in the programme you will have the opportunity to:

  • Learn new life skills
  • Learn about mental health
  • Learn more about yourself
  • Learn that the ways in which you care (especially culturally), can positively impact recovery
  • Financial remuneration

 

If you would like to take part or find out more information about the project, please email info@emhip.co.uk or call 020 78467144.
