SOFEA

They have a variety of internal and external wellbeing programmes that offer both one-to-one and group support, and believe that taking care of your mental health is sometimes about more than just going to 1-to-1 therapeutic support; therefore, they work closely with the education and employability programmes to provide a broader and more flexible offer of ‘mental health maintenance’.
