Syston Has a New Public Health Local Area Coordinator

Local Area coordination is a preventative initiative that started in Leicestershire in July 2015. The initiative helps people and communities to achieve their vision of a good life. It also helps prevent people from reaching and returning to a crisis.
A Local Area Coordinator looks for opportunities and natural connections within communities that enable people and places to grow. The support offered is person centred and non-time restricted.
We work with local and country wide organisations and services to promote opportunities for people who may be at risk (vulnerable) or trying to cope with daily life due to their age, disability or low level mental health.
A Local Area Coordinator can provide short term support, providing information or signposting longer term support whereby they will take time to understand a person’s strengths and aspirations, help to set targets and provide practical ways of achieving goals and visions for a good life.
If you would like more information, know of someone who would like to be introduced or to meet your new Local Area Coordinator Michelle McWeeney then please call 0773 058 2765 or alternatively email michelle.mcweeney@leics.gov.uk There will also be drop-in sessions at the hub café on High St on Fridays between 2.00 and 3.00pm.
