Gwent IAS and Gwent Wildlife set up an Outdoor Group. The group consisted of 7 group members.
The group addresses the following:
- Mental and Physical Wellbeing
- Social Isolation
- Social Skills
- Problem-Solving
- Teamwork
- Motivation
- Weekly Structure
- Connecting with Nature and Learning
This group covers all the 5-Ways to Wellbeing and more.
The outcome for the individuals is difficult to measure but out of all the group members who were previously known to the service, none have needed any further interventions.
Some members of the group are clearly more at ease in this social situation than others, but a few individuals have been observed to be more confident in other social environments i.e., they are more vocal within a group setting and more confident to express their opinions.
During the group sessions, one person expressed an interest in volunteering with Gwent Wildlife and they have now volunteered with the organisation on numerous occasions.
