Friendship Groups are established through partnerships between:
- Mental Health Partners
A professional from a mental health service provider, such as the NHS, Social Services or MIND, works collaboratively with church partners to establish Friendship Groups.
- Church Partners
A co-group facilitator works with the mental health professional to initially establish the group, after which a Volunteer Group Development Worker oversees the weekly Friendship Groups.
For further details about the roles and process of establishing Friendship Groups, please refer to pages 54 & 55 of:
"Our staff have found that working in partnership with ACCEPT provides them professionally with the opportunity to be involved in a dynamic and unique approach to mental health care, that both supports and complements their own interventions with clients."
