Description

The Mendos Project provides short term "community linking" support to individuals leaving prison, forensic psychiatric institutions or those identified at court as in need of mental health support. The project provides practical and emotional support, and referrals to existing resources as well as offering assistance with budgeting, healthy living, occupational and employment opportunities. It also provides liaison and advocacy work on behalf of its users.
