It’s October and time to be optimistic!

Action for Happiness have dedicated this month as Optimistic October, and off to a great start with today’s action being ‘’Find something you can be optimistic about’’.

At Derventio Housing Trust, as a supported housing provider, staff are continually encouraging residents to be optimistic about their future.

Optimism can be a gradual feeling, building over time as residents work with our Housing Support team to recognise the positive changes they have made in their lives, the small steps towards a brighter future.

For example, residents who have addiction issues may set a target of going several days without alcohol or drugs, a realistic goal building optimism for the future.

Or residents who suffer with social isolation can start attending our Growing Lives centre, helping them to meet new people in a safe space, and be optimistic about the friendships they can make.

Our Growing Lives project is a great opportunity for participants to build on various skills, practical ones such as gardening and woodwork, as well as improved social skills through meeting and interacting with other participants and staff, boosting self-confidence and mental health, all the right stepping stones to a more optimistic future.

Reflecting on different aspects of our life can be a great way to help us move forward in our life!

Continuing our engagement with Self-Care September from Action For Happiness, today’s action being ‘’Choose to see your mistakes as steps to help you learn.”

During a resident’s time with us we provide specialist services, working alongside people who are taking control of their lives and making positive changes.

This can be a great opportunity for them to assess their life and strive to make positive changes for their future.

Here is Will’s story a previous resident we previously housed and supported in our supported accommodation.

https://derventiohousing.com/stories/wills-story/

Will was also a previous participant on our Home4Me programme which provides people dealing with the challenges of homelessness with extra support to overcome the barriers they face which ultimately helps them work towards a brighter future.

Will’s story is a testament that shows with a combination of the right one to one and external support, individuals can make the right positive changes to move forward in their life.

An enjoyable day was had yesterday by Growing Lives participants and staff at Straws Bridge Ilkeston, where they all worked together to take part in geocaching, an international treasure hunt game with players using an app to find hidden containers.

The event was held to celebrate National Recovery Month, which takes place every September, raising awareness of recovery, challenging stigma and celebrating the achievements of people on their recovery journeys.

The group managed to find 6 of the caches that were marked on the geocaching map - a great result within the time frame and despite not being able to locate a couple even after a thorough hunt.

After the morning activity of the Geocaching, the day continued with the afternoon back at Growing Lives with a lunch of pizza and sandwiches, and a chocolate cake for dessert which was made by fellow participants.

The day was rounded off with a quiz all based on the history of Ilkeston which was put together and hosted by another fellow Growing Lives participant.

Here is a selection of pictures of the great day Growing Lives participants and staff had yesterday.
