Community-Empowered mental health support
Supporting the empowerment of Liverpool through innovative mental health services and community connections.
What
we do
Our array of programmes, projects, and services are designed with the community at heart. We understand that mental wellness is intricately linked to social cohesion, and that's why we create opportunities for people to come together, share experiences, and build lasting connections.
Whether it's through group sessions, community workshops, or social events, we strive to create environments where everyone feels a sense of belonging and mutual support.

Projects in action
The FundaMENTALLY Healthy project, an initiative by First Person Project was created to improve mental health services and reduce suicide rates in Liverpool.
By focusing on community-driven support and empowerment, the project has positively impacted the lives of 267 people.
This project was delivered in collaboration with My Mate Vinny's C.I.C, Liverpool City Council and Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust
"My mental health seemed to become clear after speaking to the service. It's really helpful"
My experience has been really effective and will be using the strategies to cope with my mental health in the future. Thank you.
My mental health seems to be calm and balanced which is positive for my health all around.
I understand how my brain works and that a thought will pass. We can sit in it, but it's how we react to the thought that is most important.
Our
Approach
Our model adapts to the needs of the communities we serve. We work alongside people and communities, ensuring that every individual feels valued, supported and empowered. We are constantly working to become more agile and creative in the ways in which we engage people.
Our approach is proactive, easy to access, informed by the community, and rooted in social connection.
Social
Equality
At First Person Project we recognise that everyone has a voice, we want to hear each one. We are an inclusive not-for-profit social enterprise which works with all people and promotes social equality.
Community &
Connection
When 'I' becomes 'we', illness becomes wellness. We believe that communities have the lived experience, tools, passions, and resilience to be healthy and connected. We believe that when people work together, wellness can be achieved.
Sustainable & Ethical
When people come together, they create opportunities for improved health and happiness - becoming more socially progressive and sustainable. We support the empowerment of communities to help them take ownership of their actions towards wellness.
Health & Wellbeing
We believe that all roads lead to and from mental health. At First Person Project we encourage the celebration and promotion of health and wellbeing to become a happier and healthier society.
