Nishkam Mental and Emotional Wellbeing Service
Nishkam Mental and Emotional Wellbeing Service is here to support those with emotional and mental wellbeing needs such as low mood, anxiety, loneliness and stress.
We treat all with love, compassion and humility in line with the values of our organisation. We also firmly adhere to the values of the NHS constitution treating all with respect and dignity.
We offer several different services depending on individual needs:
• One-to-one support in the form of a listening ear service
• Structured Counselling and Psychotherapy for ongoing support
We have adapted our services in the context of COVID-19 to enable staff to treat patients with post-COVID syndrome as well as those indirectly affected by the COVID-19 crisis. All services are currently running remotely.
We recognise the interconnectivity of physical, mental and emotional wellbeing in order to achieve good health, and we understand the importance of wider determinants of health such as poverty and unemployment.
We work within the Nishkam group of organisations which has strong partnerships with other registered charities, NHS organisations as well as Birmingham City council. Within the Nishkam campus itself we have access to a number of services including but not limited to:
Financial/benefits support
Housing support
Access to educational classes
Employment and careers support
Advocacy services
Food parcels during times of crisis
Multi-faith chaplaincy services
Physical activity and wellbeing classes
