What is the Being Well Service?
The Being Well service supports people across Malvern Hills to take control of the issues affecting their mental health and wellbeing.
These will be different for everyone, but might include:

• Money worries, debt and benefits
• Caring responsibilities
• Bereavement
• Illness and disability
• Housing or employment issues
What can you expect?
We take a person-centred approach to help people identify the issues affecting their mental wellbeing and quality of life, and support them to find a way forward
We can:
• Be a supportive listening ear to help you talk through your problems
• Support you to find solutions to your problems
• Link you with support in your community, voluntary organisations and local social and community groups
Whatever your circumstances, we can help you take those first steps to improving your mental wellbeing.
The importance of mental health
It is estimated that in the UK today more than 1 in 4 older people live with a common mental health condition such as anxiety or depression.
Poor mental health impacts individuals and their families financially and socially, and leads to a lower overall quality of life and a shorter healthy life span. Getting help early, connecting with others and learning strategies to manage anxiety and low mood can make a big difference to the wellbeing of the individual, their families and the wider community.
