Trade Sexual Health

 

Trade Sexual Health is a local health charity working with the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGB&T) community of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

 

We offer a range of support and advice services around sexual health and HIV information, one-to-one emotional and practical support; support in ‘coming out’, sexuality and relationships; and a counselling service run by fully qualified, supervised members of professional counselling bodies (BACP and UKCP).

 

Trade has always aimed to break down barriers to accessing health services, make a lasting difference to LGB&T people’s life, reduce isolation, stigma and discrimination, and encourage or enable LGB&T people from diverse backgrounds to share in the life of the whole community.

 

We believe that by providing a wide range of services people are able to make more informed choices about their overall health.

Clare Walker Consultancy – Domestic Abuse Training

clarewalkerprofilepic

 

Clare Walker Consultancy

 

Clare Walker is an expert in the field of domestic abuse & has been training professionals UK wide since 2006.

 

Clare set up the first Freedom Programme victims support group in Leicester in 2004.

 
Domestic abuse crosses all classes, ages, ethnicities, religions, cultures, races or lifestyles. The Freedom Programme demystifies domestic abuse in all its entirety.

 

This is most common in heterosexual intimate relationships, male perpetrator and female victim, but by no means solely.

 

The Freedom Programme model is based on human behaviours, therefore we can all identify with a lot of the tactics.

 

The difference in an abusive relationship is that the abuser has an agenda, which is to gain power & control of another.

 

The first step toward recovery is being able to identify that we’re in an abusive relationship –  the Freedom Programme educates us so we can see those relationships for what there are.

SUCRAN Project

SUCRAN1

SUCRAN Project


In 2008 mental health service users from Genesis (Leicester City) and the People’s Forum (Leicestershire County and Rutland) embarked on a pilot research study – not only giving service users a voice but being that voice.

 

From the success of the study came the Service User and Carer Research Audit Network (SUCRAN), led by a Steering Group of service users and carers, with support from De Montfort University, the group now employs a Project Manager and a pool of more than 30 interviewers.

 

The ethos of the project is that all interviewers are service users and carers themselves. Survey participants feel supported and less intimidated being interviewed by peers and more people opt into the survey thus producing robust evidence based research and enhanced richness of results.

 

Our aim is to bring about, by our findings, a shift in culture toward service user centered care.

 

Those involved in the project derive huge benefit too. They are employed as research interviewers by De Montfort University having completed interviews, training, CRB and occupational health checks.

 

In additional to feeling empowered and gaining valuable work experience service users and carers are supported by peers, the project team, academics, welfare rights and have access to psychological support and interpreter services.

 

Every stage of the process from questionnaire design to data analysis and report writing is service user and carer led – real involvement.

SIS0 (Safe Inside-Safe Outside)

Mission Statement & Primary Purpose

To grow and co-ordinate the delivery of recovery focused information, projects and services relating to mental health.

 

SISO originally formed to empower mental health service users to become valued and active members of their respective communities, ensuring that people feel safe within themselves and their wider community, helping make the recovery journey a reality.

SISO works to reduce stigma and inequalities associated with mental health, promote control, self management, hope and optimism incorporating a ‘whatever works for you philosophy’ in tandem with personalisation and self directed support. SISO focuses on what people can do and not what they can’t do, taking a panoramic view of a person’s life and not just a life governed by a mental health diagnoses.
