Wellbeing coaches helping residents build healthier lives

Free wellbeing coaching sessions are available for anyone living in the borough who wants help to reset their drinking or drug use.

The Re-new programme is a six-week course of private one-to-one sessions where people can explore their relationship with alcohol or drugs and how to break the cycle.

During the sessions, individuals can work through how to build healthy habits, manage strong emotions, boost their self-confidence or manage daily stresses like family or relationships.

They can also explore what motivates them and how to support their physical and mental health.

Aaron, 22, (not his real name) took part in Re-new as he felt he needed support to reduce his drinking.

He said: “I was using alcohol as a coping mechanism when I felt low.

“Without Re-new I think this would have continued and I’d have become alcohol dependent.

“Now I’ve learned to drink in a controlled way when I’m out with friends and, even then, I only drink if I feel I want to.

“I feel like alcohol does not have any control over my life any more, it’s no longer consuming my thoughts.”

Re-new is not a service for dependent drinkers or drug users, instead it provides early intervention for people who are concerned about their increasing level of alcohol or drug use.

The programme includes an hour-long wellbeing coaching session, once a week for six weeks. 

These take place in private with a wellbeing coach who will listen and offer friendly and supportive advice and guidance.

Sessions can take place in person, at a venue to suit the individual, or online, and appointments are available during daytime, evenings or weekends.

The Re-new programme is open, for free, to any Cheshire West and Chester resident aged 18 or over.
