Active Monitoring is a programme of supportive intervention and guided self-help to improve the mental health and wellbeing of clients. It offers written information about evidence based strategies to empower individuals to cope with common mental health difficulties. This is a service that works with mild to moderate mental health difficulties focused on 7 areas: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loneliness, grief and loss, anger, stress, and menopause.
The role of the volunteer Active Monitoring Practitioner is to provide early intervention for people experiencing mental health difficulties through (pre-designed) guided psycho-educational materials.
The post holder will support the establishment of Active Monitoring and maintain effective and collaborative working within the practice with all staff to ensure the smooth running of the programme.
