About the Restart Project
Who the project is for?
Restart is an NHSGGC mental health project that works in conjunction with Community Mental Health Teams, in patient and specialist service in the GCHSCP. The main focus of the project is to offer recovery based support to those living with severe and enduring mental health conditions. Trainees are given the opportunity to take part in various vocational training activities.
Each trainee is assigned a Vocational Guidance Counsellor who will work with them to set goals and personal development plans. Trainees will also be able to access support from Psychiatric Nurses and Instructors.
At Restart we can offer individuals the opportunity to:
- Have a greater sense of hope for the future
- Increase self belief and build resilience
- Learn new vocational skills
- Greater feelings of social inclusion
- Support on your recovery journey.

Client Testimonial
“I came along to Restart to have some structure and work on an interest that I had in Digital Photography, also to be in the company of others as I was feeling isolated. I was struggling on a daily basis feeling down and not having anything to look forward too. Having spent time attending the project and taking part in photography and picture framing I am feeling better both mentally and physically, I have some focus in my life, feel less isolated and my confidence is growing. I would recommend Restart as it takes your mind of your mental health problems, gives you some routine and a sense of purpose”.
