The Adult Projects

LINK Adult Project provides a befriending service for adults with the aim to help people who have become lonely or isolated due to a mental health problem. The Project supports adults, 18 - 65 year olds, in the East Fife and Levenmouth area who are already known to a Key Worker, but who would benefit from additional support to use ordinary community resources and facilities.

A befriender can complement the service already being provided and should not be seen as a second best option or in any way replacing formal systems of support.

Benefits of being befriended:

• companionship
• increased self-esteem and confidence
• increased social opportunities
• more structure to the week
• extra emotional support when trying something new, or potentially stressful.
