The Fife IPS project is a proven way of helping people, who have a complex mental health condition and want to work, find and sustain employment.


Aimed at people with severe and enduring mental health conditions who genuinely want to gain paid employment.  Dedicated 1-1 support from an Employment Specialist enables participants to focus on applying for work in roles that they are interested in - rather than just finding any job.

Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT)

Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT)

Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT)

 If you have a mental health problem it can often affect your memory. It may also influence your ability to think clearly, especially when it comes to performing everyday tasks. Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) is designed to improve memory and boost thinking power, which can give you back your confidence so that you can be more active. This could take the form of returning or starting work, whether it’s paid or unpaid. Or you may want to embark on further education or simply become more independent in your daily routine.

Stress Resilience

With Covid19 restrictions hampering our delivery during much of 2020-21, we have adapted the "Employ your Mind" programme to be run fully outdoors and piloting the new provision with veterans from 2021.


Base camp for the new initiative will be Silverburn Park and thanks to funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund  Trust we will run a total of 4 groups over an 18-month period.


We're working in partnership with Veterans F1rst Point in Fife who will refer veterans into the service.  Needless to say, being based outdoors means the activities will include horticulture and conservation, however we will embed cognitive remediation therapy and other key elements of the Employ your Mind framework.  


Support from the Veterans' Foundation has enabled the programme to run through to the end of 2022.


We are also looking at other opportunities to run the programme for civilians as well, so watch this space if you're interested in getting involved 

in the future!

 • Why our minds are always busy

 • How we can settle the mind   

: • Awareness of how our minds work

 • How our emotions are regulated

 • Checking out nourishing & depleting activities in our lives

Falling Up Living in Art

Falling Up Living in Art

We have contracted the team from Falling UP to deliver a weekly programme of team-building and creativity skills from our base in Silverburn Park, starting March 2022.


The programme involves participants working together to build sculptures from natural materials found around Silverburn Park. The adjacent Fife Coastal Path also provides a rich source of sand, flotsam and jetsam, driftwood and seashells. 

 

 The primary communal activity will lead to the construction of life-sized animal and figure sculptures using found materials in an ecologically respectful working process. The secondary activity will engage groups as individual participants in traditional art workshops within both environments.   


The educational framework for these workshops is the art & design process model, in which participants will be informally tutored in ideas development, creativity skills and art techniques within each of the above activity types. 


The team also have an indoor base in West Fife that is available to participants.

Flax Mill Activities

Flax Mill Activities

Falling Up Living in Art

Silverburn Flax Mill, established by the Russell family in the 1850’s, is set to become a hub of the community. The Multi-million pound renovation will offer a café and restaurant, arts and crafts studios, gift shop, event spaces, backpackers’ hostel and more.


The Activity Plan sits alongside the redevelopment and sets out how we will involve the local community in the restoration & redevelopment of the Mill. 


Activities will include mini-builders sessions for young families, college placements, hard hat tours of the Mill and STEM workshops for schools amongst many others. We will see the development of a flax group who will grow and process flax at Silverburn for the first time in over 100 years, recapturing the Mill’s rich history and bringing it to life.


The aims for the activities are to place the community at the heart of the project, actively engaging with people in the most deprived areas of Levenmouth, young people and those people experiencing mental health issues.

Coalfields Worx

Flax Mill Activities

Coalfields Worx

FEAT began a partnership with the Coalfields Regeneration Trust to deliver a series of community and environmental improvements to Kincardine and the surrounding area in January 2020.


A Project Leader headed up a team of Community Maintenance Assistants who were focused on sprucing up Kincardine, whilst also engaging a wide range of accredited training to support their ongoing employment prospects. The project was only anticipated to run as a 12-month pilot, however with service delivery affected by Covid-19, an extension was granted  through to March 2022, thanks to ongoing support from Coalfields Regeneration Trust.


By January 2022, all six of the community maintenance assistants had secured long-term employment elsewhere thanks to their new skills and qualifications and the project is now closed.  However, the Coalfields Regeneration Trust are replicating this programme elsewhere in Scotland based on the positive experiences of the FEAT pilot.
