CHOICE Project

We’re looking for participants!

CHOICE is a social prescribing project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) to address health inequalities and social isolation among adults living with severe mental illness.

 

Who is CHOICE for? 

CHOICE is open to people who:

• Are aged 18 or over
• Live in Northern Ireland 
• Have experience of long-term severe mental health conditions

What does CHOICE do? 

Participants will engage with one of our community navigators who will support them to find and access activities and places in their local area. These can include, sports/leisure centres, education or training courses, arts and cultural spaces – things that they may be interested in but for various reasons have found difficult to access.
