Bridging the Gap is a Mind in Gwent project working with local organisations to support mental health across Torfaen.
Open to adults aged 18+ living in Torfaen, the project provides additional support for people who are already accessing community services but need further help with their mental wellbeing.
We provide up to six tailored one-to-one sessions for adults experiencing mild to moderate mental health needs.
Support may include:
- Emotional wellbeing support using person-centred approaches
- Supported self-help based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Psycho-social education
- Social prescribing to reduce isolation
- Emotional literacy and resilience building
- Support for people experiencing suicidal thoughts
- Support alongside psychological interventions
Support is available at our Pontypool office, in community settings, online, by telephone, or at home where appropriate.
We also deliver monthly outreach sessions to raise awareness of trauma and suicide prevention, helping communities recognise early warning signs and respond confidently.
