Welcome to First Person Project – The People’s Mental Health Service
At First Person Project, we believe in the power of community and connection to nurture mental health and well-being. Our services are built around the idea that wellness isn’t just about individual support – it’s about people coming together, sharing their experiences, and supporting one another.
Whether through group sessions, community workshops, or social events, we create spaces where everyone is welcome, and everyone belongs. We are here to help you build resilience, find support, and grow together.
Who We Are
We are a not-for-profit social enterprise with a simple, but powerful mission: to create a more connected, healthy, and resilient community. We offer person-centred mental health services that are accessible, free of barriers, and inclusive for all. Our team includes mental health professionals with lived experience, meaning we understand firsthand the challenges many young people face.
At First Person Project, we focus on building long-term wellness, using strength-based approaches that encourage proactive mental health management. We are here to walk with you, not just through the tough times, but as you take steps towards lasting mental well-being.
