Description

The Council wishes to procure providers to offer Bereavement Support and Counselling & Talking Therapies to a number of communities within the Walsall Borough including but not limited to:

? Providing Support
? Raising Awareness amongst communities
? Future development from feedback
? Group and Individual Support
? Help people to Improve their mental health and wellbeing

It is the Council's intention to divide these requirements into two (2) Lots as follows:

LOT 1 - Bereavement Support - The provision of Place Based Community Bereavement Support will support communities impacted by complex grief.

LOT 2 - Counselling & Talking Therapies - The provision of Place Based Counselling and Talking Therapies will help people suffering from mild to moderate stress and anxiety to improve their mental health and wellbeing.
Both Place Based Community Bereavement Support and Place Based Counselling and Talking Therapies will work in synergy to deliver across a diverse range of community settings to meet the diverse needs of Walsall residents. The provision will be culturally appropriate and will target support towards our most disadvantaged populations with a view to improving mental wellbeing inequalities.

Lots 1 and 2 will operate as an integrated part of the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) pathways and the No Wrong Door Network. In addition, the service will provide integrated support via the Health Improvement Service and the developing wellbeing service.
