Woodlands

Sefton New Directions is a leading adult social care provider working across a range of services meeting the social care needs of several thousand people and Woodlands is a specialist service providing a 24-hour supported living service and 2 respite beds for adults with mental health needs, focusing on promoting rehabilitation and preventing relapse.

We recognise that mental illness can affect many areas of our tenants’ lives including their physical health, relationships, work and education.

With this in mind, the Woodlands team aims to provide individualised support to increase each tenant’s confidence and independence and empower them to make their own decisions and choices.
