Overcoming social isolation in rural communities

Abstract

WELL stands for Well‐being, Education, Lifestyle and Living. Nancy Graham describes how the WELL Project in Northern Ireland provides social, educational and activity groups for people with long‐term mental illness living in rural communities, using local venues, with the aim to support them into using mainstream leisure and education services, and into employment.
