Wellbeing Service
Here to support you to improve your quality of life
The Wellbeing Service is part of your GP surgery, we are here to help you understand how your health or life circumstances could be affecting your wellbeing.
Our aim is to work together with you to:
• Find out what matters to you.
• Help you set and reach your goals.
• Support you to make changes to help you live well.
• Find other groups and services to support you, and reduce social isolation.
Who can benefit from the Wellbeing Service?
The Wellbeing Service supports adults:
• 18 years and over who are registered with a GP surgery in the Eden and Keswick & Solway areas,
• Who are experiencing mild low mood and/or anxiety relating to living with a Long Term Health Condition,
• Or who are going through a recent life change that is affecting their wellbeing; for example bereavement, retirement, menopause, divorce, moving house, loss of job etc.
How does it work?
We use motivational coaching to support you to think about areas in your life where you would like to see positive changes.
We can also offer social prescribing (giving you information about useful services and organisations) and we run a range of educational and social groups.
How you may be feeling
You may already have a lot of information about your health condition, or how to improve your wellbeing, however putting advice into practice can be far from easy.
Some people tell us they feel
- Fed up or overwhelmed
-Tired and exhausted
-Stuck in a rut
-Like no-one understands
There are two ways to access the Wellbeing Service for individual support:
1. GP Surgery: You can contact your GP, nurse or other health professional at your surgery, and they will arrange for the team to contact you.
2. Self-Referral: You can pick up a self-referral form from your GP surgery; fill this in and return it to your GP reception. Alternatively, use the web address ( see below) and print or e-mail us the self-referral form yourself
Please note, unfortunately we are unable to provide a service to anyone who is currently experiencing a mental health crisis. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please speak to your GP surgery who can support you to access the appropriate support.
