Support Your Teams With Tight Blue Lines
Trauma and Mental Health Awareness Days
It is often the case that if you don't know what you are looking for, how are you going to find it? And that is exactly where to start when looking after yourself or others, be it colleagues, friends or family. Our Awareness Days ensure you go away with the knowledge on how to identify common mental health conditions and how to support those affected by them. A great place to start for those who have a duty of care towards others.
TRiM (Trauma Risk Management) Assessments
TRiM, or Trauma Risk Management to give it its full name, is a trauma focussed support system for those who have experienced a traumatic, or potentially traumatic incident. Our TRiM assessors are not counsellors or therapists, they are real people who have been in your shoes, know what it is like to deal with the same incidents you deal with day in day out and have likely experienced thoughts and feelings people feel post-trauma.
Confidentiality is key, and that is why using an external provider such as TBL to provide TRiM Assessments increases participation and engagement and provides much greater benefit than those who conduct it 'in house'.
With our simple 4 step process all those involved know what is happening now, what is going to happen next and overall, why. Information is not just key, it is power, and the more you know about the whats and whys, the more powerful this process becomes.
Fishing
Fishing is a way of managing anybody and everybody's mental health, and it is very much overlooked as many people see it "just as a hobby", but it is much more than that. For many, going to a lake and casting a line is their sanctuary, their safe space, the place they feel most relaxed and this is why we offer such a support. With qualified angling coaches, with all the gear and a wealth of knowledge to aid you in catching, your days fishing won't disappoint, but really, it's not all about the catching, it's more about the chatting. Once again, these anglers have been in your shoes and will be more than willing to share their stories, talk about how they have managed their mental wellbeing and how fishing has played such a vital part in this.
It does not matter if you have never casted before, or if you are a well seasoned angler, we accommodate for all and ensure you experience the vast array of benefits fishing has.
Available for groups and individuals, with all levels of experience.
Fishing not for you? How about some Paws?
We are incredibly fortunate to meet amazing people through what we do, and some of those we meet leave such an impression on us, we just have to support them!
Meet Holly, and her handler Paul.
We know fishing isn't for everyone, but a walk & talk could be all it takes. Throwing a ball, watching that wagging tail chase after it and then bringing it back with a slobbery smile is enough to bring peace and joy to anybody. Paul isn't just a great guy, he is a great listener and his career put him front and centre for some of the worse incidents that have happened in the last 20 years.
