DIGITAL SUPPORT
FOR MENTAL HEALTH

Digital Support for Mental Health

Access to digital health and social care services, and in particular online supports for mental health and wellbeing is still a problem in many rural areas like Moray. As individuals struggle to access services such as ALISS, Discover Pathways to Wellbeing Moray, NHS Inform, appointments, peer support groups and wellbeing apps their mental wellbeing is further impacted.

Moray Wellbeing Hub has an ambition to ensure that no citizen’s of Moray face digital exclusion and are also included in the design of services and supports. We are always advocating for lived and (or) living experience voices to be heard at all levels. We want to ensure that no citizen's of Moray faces digital barriers to accessing health and social care services by offering support to build confidence and skills on navigation of these platforms.

How we are doing this:

Weekly drop-ins across the 4 localities of Moray (details of where to find us are on our wellness college calendar and on our social media).
1:2:1 support and digital wellbeing reviews by appointment.
Workshops and training for all citizen’s of Moray and bespoke training for workforces to support employees and those who they support. (details of current opportunities are on our wellness college calendar and on our social media).
Resources for you to use time and time again.
Building a network of Digital Champions to support each other as peers not experts. (see more about this below).
In partnership with Health & Social Care Moray, we launched a project aiming to reduce barriers to accessing support for mental health for Health & Social Care Moray staff (inc. GP staff), through improving digital skills and building peer-support. **Those who meet the criteria of Health & Social Care Moray Staff can click the button below to access the referral form to book 1-2-1 support or team awareness talks.
