The Struggles of Looking After a Loved One

There are millions of unpaid carers throughout the UK who are at risk of burning out right now. This is why it’s more important than ever that carers get the help and support they need to prioritise their own health and wellbeing.

Interact Workshops now on Better Connected

We have been giving online interactive workshops over the course of this year on the subject of relationships: to explore what relationships are, how to manage them, emotions within relationships, and how to keep ourselves safe.

Working with Guideposts – Leah

Leah started working with Guideposts in spring this year. She told us about the experience – and why she doesn’t want to leave!

Celebrating Love and Support with Guideposts CONNECT Members

Mike and Laura recently shared their anniversary celebration with their CONNECT group, to thank them for all the love, help and support they have received.

New Relationships Workshops for people with Learning Disabilities and Autism

Guideposts has started its first series of online Fear-less workshops this week, exploring relationships to enable people with learning disabilities and autism to feel more confident and be safer in their lives.

The story of how one volunteer went from blog writer to a key staff member within our marketing and communications team.

Group Volunteer: Becky

Becky is a volunteer for our CONNECT groups in Gloucestershire, as well as with the Dementia Wellbeing Hub. She lives with some difficulties in her own life, and we spoke to her about how her volunteering helps her overcome these.

Student Volunteer: Nice

Nice has been volunteering for Guideposts at our Community Mental Health Hub in Watford, Henry Smith House, since 2019. We spoke to Nice about her experience with us.

Personal Connection

Many of our in-person groups have been meeting again in the last few weeks, and it’s wonderful to make personal connections again.

Reopening and Reunions at Guideposts

Our face-to-face adult services have been opening up gradually over the last month. Although we have kept in touch and offered online services, phone calls and sent fun things to do in the post, it’s not the same as being together.
