    Situation

    To do this we will purchase and renovate a disused building in a prime location in the heart of the Town Centre. We will also lease the top two floors of the adjacent building which will be interconnecting. This enhanced development will replace the current dilapidated Drop-In centre which is too small and not fit for purpose and will complement this area of physical regeneration by replacing an old run down building with a new health promotion centre. The combined area will allow us much more room to deliver all the planned services and collocate all staff. The project fits with: The Adult Mental Health Services Strategy (Welsh Assembly Government) ‘Equity, Empowerment, Effectiveness and Efficiency The National Service Framework for Adult Mental Health Services in Wales (Raising the standard October 2005) The Torfaen County Borough Council Joint Commissioning Strategy for Adult Mental Health Torfaen County Borough Council Regeneration Strategy for the Town Centre The Centre will be a ‘one stop shop’ service to help people suffering mental distress and be a base for the provision of a wide range of community mental health services including: • Counselling • Social and Emotional Support • Classes for example: Anger Management; Coping with Self Harm • Social and Therapeutic Activities • Access to Supported Housing Services • Access to Tenancy Support Services
