Mental Health & wellbeing is at the heart of what we offer here at Prout Bridge Project - in fact its enshrined in our charitable objectives…

We want people in Beaminster and its surrounding area, of all ages, to live happy and fulfilling lives.

We acknowledge that often help is needed to achieve this, so we offer support for this through the services and activities that we offer.

Below is what we currently offer to support this aim. Click on each heading to find out more.

A Distraction Bag is a resource that can be given out at any of our mental health sessions to help anyone deal with self harm.

We make the Distraction Bag ourselves, filling them with items that will help distract or soothe the urge to self harm, and provide provisions to help clean and protect any incidents of self harm.

We do target our distraction bags for young people, as it is a big issue experienced by the young people in our community and a Distraction Bag is a key resource to support these young people.
