SEASONS is a mental health charity that offers a few services. A couple of which are drop-ins and a one to one service that supports people to follow their interests, education and employment opportunities. We also have peer led outings such as fishing. We started in 2004 and became a registered charity in 2007. We have a management committee that is made up of people who use the services we provide. We also take a lot of time finding out what people would like to happen during their time at SEASONS by consulting with the people who use the service.
You may be wondering how we came by the name SEASONS. Well, we felt it was better than North East Edinburgh Mental Health Services. After all, if you explore our site you’ll soon realise we offer a whole lot more than that title suggests…
We invited in Colin Will, a poet from East Lothian, who led a workshop to ask us what we felt we offered. And this is what we came up with – the name followed naturally – like the seasons.
