Our Service Vision
Our approach is open, inclusive, skilled and creative. Through our work we strive to be continuously curious about mental health, considering the effects of trauma while validating people’s experiences and offering individualised support. We support people with their own recovery journey and maintain a hopeful outlook. We believe a trusting working relationship and a sense of belonging (in community) are key to supporting people effectively. Through our use of creative psychotherapeutic practices and the diverse backgrounds of our team, we aim to ‘walk alongside’ people as they realise their potential. Keystones focuses on empowering individuals and emphasising their unique strengths and individuality. Open-mindedness and compassion underpin all that we do.
At Keystones we pride ourselves on being able to deliver pioneering services related to mental health, trauma and recovery. The following testimonials reflect the feedback of the work that we do.
"(Groups) involve a chance to meet new people and make friends, build upon social skills to widen the horizon and try out new activities."
"The staff at Keystones are very supportive. They are always there when I need them." ‘I like living here. I feel safe and settled’
‘Keystones have supported me through the good times and the bad. They are a friendly team, and there are lots of opportunities within the service. Keystones have helped me grow as a person and spread my wings. I’m a different person to when I first moved in to Keystones (in a good way), they supported me to become more independent and get a voluntary job helping others’.
"‘The staff are amazing and really try their hardest to help and will happily give their time when you need it. They don’t seem to judge and they listen to what is going on for you and then try to come up with a plan"
We are committed to continually developing our trauma informed practice. We will do this by integrating these principles into every element of our service, informing how we support individuals (including staff).
