A LANDLORD is to offer a mental health service to tenants.
Karbon Homes has secured funds to extend its mental health service to residents living in the Derwentside area.
A support worker from Mental Health Matters will deliver the service from Karbon’s office at Greengates House at Greencroft, near Stanley to encourage those with mental health issues to make changes to their lifestyle and work towards getting into work, managing their home, budgeting and managing their finances.
Jessica Wray, Community Investment Officer at Karbon Homes, said: “We have noticed an increase in the number of residents needing support and are glad to be able to extend this service into the Derwentside area”.
A 24-hour helpline is available so residents have support whenever they need it.
