Lucy’s Place CIC is a mental health and wellbeing community based in East Lothian. It is a place to recover, connect and thrive through a combination of evidence based psychological therapy and community wellbeing meets in the outdoors.Lucy's Place CIC believe that your mental fitness should be given equal importance as our physical fitness. We only have one life and we believe that everyone should be equipped with the skills to live it well. Most of us at some point in our lives have embarked on a diet, joined a gym, given up smoking, stopped drinking or attended a physio for help with the pain they are suffering. When we share these physical health goals with friends and family we are encouraged and praised. Sadly, in terms of mental health goals some stigma and misplaced shame appears to continue. One in four of us will be diagnosed with a mental health problem at some point in our lives and many more of us will have times in our lives in which we feel depressed, anxious or hopeless. Emotional difficulties are common and we all experience them. Lucy’s Place CIC is therefore a support community open to all! It offers techniques, support, psychological therapy and a sense of community that will help you build your resilience and fulfil your mental health goals.Community Meets are opportunities to feel more connected to both our environment and other people in the outdoors have been found to have significant benefits to mental health and wellbeing. Lucy’s Place CIC are delighted to be able to other a range of community wellbeing activities in the outdoors. These include learning new skills such as sailing, paddle-sports, navigation or geology. It includes relaxing activities such as wild swims and mindful walks and it includes achievement based activities such as doing something for the first time, overcoming anxiety or reaching the summit of your first Munro. Above all the activities are a lot of fun with likeminded people.Thanks to Crystal Rigg Community Fund and Garvald Community council the events are free and spaces prioritized for certain groups. Places are guaranteed for Lucy’s Place CIC clients. These events are however open to all to apply. Wider communities are simply invited to give a donation
