Moving Forward Programme
When life has left you feeling disconnected from who you are, unsure of your direction or quietly losing hope, moving forward can feel difficult.

How the Programme Is Delivered
Moving Forward Against the Odds CIC will deliver six online programmes each year. Each programme will support up to 22 participants in a safe and supportive group environment.
Participants will take part in guided reflection, peer discussion and structured personal development. Across the year, this model will enable us to support approximately 132 adults.
This is a preventative wellbeing and personal development programme. It is not therapy or a crisis service. A clinical referral pathway is in place so that anyone requiring additional mental health support can be safely signposted to appropriate professional services.
