FAQs
For how long can I be coached?
Coaching can run alongside attendance of a recovery group, it is also available as a stand alone support service. Follow the referral steps to request coaching. Progress is review driven, which is scheduled for every fourth session to ensure that coach and 'coachee' are keeping track of goals and the steps to meet those goals.
Will coaching get me a job?
Restore don’t find people work, courses or volunteering roles. However, people are supported to develop skills to do these things themselves. Coaches help people to work towards goals, rebuild confidence, and to understand that people may have even more to offer because of their experience of mental ill health – not despite it.
Can people already in work get coaching support?
Yes, coaching can be a support to help someone keep a job. If a mental health condition is making it hard to cope at work, a specialist coach can support an individual to navigate employment-related issues that might otherwise feel overwhelming.
Can someone currently in hospital seek coaching support?
Yes, in-patients at Warneford Hospital or Littlemore Mental Health Centre can meet one of Restore's visiting coaches. Coaches can make links back to employers, or help people plan for life after hospital, for example supporting continued recovery by helping to find something to do when discharged.
