Hate Incident Reporting Centres (HIRC’s) are community venues, where individuals can report hate incidents and hate crimes; either as a victim or a witness.
A HIRC can act as an alternative place for reporting Hate Crimes/Hate Incidents rather than directly to the Police.
They now work in collaboration with Essex Police and other partner agencies to provide support and information during the reporting process.
You can contact their Information and Guidance team team through the Speak to the Teampage.
Active Essex and the University of Essex would like to find out how the current situation is making you feel.
This survey will ask questions about the current situation and how it makes you feel about your work, health, money, other people and life in general.
The survey will take no longer than 8 minutes to complete, and can help make a real difference.
Your answers will be compared to other national surveys to work out how life has changed recently, and how we’re all coping. It will help them figure out what support is needed for physical and mental health during and after lockdown.
The Futures in Mind partnership works with service users as active collaborators in the design, development, delivery, and improvement of our provision of integrated support, advice and mentoring in Essex. Futures in Mind deliver an outward-facing, flexible community service to enable us to support the maximum number of Service Users across the full Essex locality.
We are looking for an individual who has experience in supporting adults in the community, working as part of a wider multi-disciplinary team, with a knowledge of the local services and the support available. Experience of working within Mental Health Services is an advantage as is management experience.
The Mind in West Essex Disordered Eating Recovery Group is for those that have battled with any form of disordered eating, from over-eating to anorexia, who are in recovery. This group will provide a safe space to talk and a chance to share with people who understand. We plan to look at the challenges still faced day to day when the disordered eating itself is supported and no longer a direct threat.
Please note that this is not a discussion group around food or how to manage your food.
If you are actively dealing with disordered eating, then we suggest that you contact your doctor and/or a specialist group to seek professional help and guidance first.
We will meet every week on a Thursday at 4-5.15pm.
We support people in the community and at work with a range of health, wellbeing and day to day needs. We help people access information and support to stay healthy, safe and well from help to quit smoking, to supporting families adapt to ‘new normal’.
We also coordinate requests and referrals for everyday tasks and connect them to our volunteers.
The Service is commissioned by Essex County Council and delivered by Provide CIC in partnership with Priority Digital Health.
