\n Elaine said: “I\u2019m incredibly honoured to be recognised in this way, but this nomination also reflects the commitment of the whole MindMosaic team and the communities we work alongside.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Our approach has always been about meeting people where they are, rather than expecting them to fit into a service.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We believe it is not about asking ‘what is wrong with you?’ but understanding ‘what has happened to you?’.\n<\/p>\n
\n “When people are met with compassion, safety and the right support, they can begin to heal.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Adversity can shape our lives, but it does not have to define our future.”\n<\/p>\n
\n MindMosaic, which is based in Inverclyde, has supported more than 1,000 people in the past year.\n<\/p>\n
\n The charity works with schools, families, community groups and statutory services to help those affected by trauma, poverty, domestic abuse, isolation and lengthy waits for NHS mental health care.\n<\/p>\n
\n MindMosaic offers a flexible, client-centred approach that includes online counselling, outreach, and therapy at community venues.\n<\/p>\n
\n It also provides EMDR, structured psychotherapy and group sessions.\n<\/p>\n
\n The charity works to remove barriers such as cost, transport and digital exclusion.\n<\/p>\n
\n Results from clients reflect the impact of this approach.\n<\/p>\n
\n Ninety-two per cent reported improved emotional wellbeing, and 87 per cent showed measurable progress in trauma recovery.\n<\/p>\n
\n These outcomes translate to people feeling safer, more stable, and better able to participate in family, work and community life.\n<\/p>\n
\n A key part of MindMosaic\u2019s model is involving clients in shaping the service.\n<\/p>\n
\n Feedback from those with lived experience has led to the introduction of online counselling and more community-based delivery.\n<\/p>\n
\n The BACP President’s Award will be presented at the BACP President’s Awards ceremony in London on October 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Elaine Wroe, director of Counselling at MindMosaic Counselling & Therapy, is one of five finalists for the British…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":618119,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[134,554,555,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-618118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mental-health","tag-health","tag-mental-health","tag-mentalhealth","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=618118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618118\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/618119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=618118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=618118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=618118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
