Welcome to the Stepping Out web site.
Stepping Out is a mental health project working with people from all over East Lothian,which covers an area of 270 square miles,and has a growing population of over 90,000.
We hope that this site will give you the basic information you need to know about us, and that once you have read about the project, you will get in touch  if you feel we could help.

STEPPING OUT IS A VIBRANT, DYNAMIC PROJECT TO BE PART OF, DUE TO THE PEOPLE THAT ATTEND AND THE STAFF THAT WORK THERE.
EACH PERSON IS A UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL WITH THEIR OWN SET OF HOPES, FEARS AND EXPECTATIONS. WE AIM TO PROVIDE THE MOST FLEXIBLE, CREATIVE AND DIVERSE RANGE OF OPTIONS,    SO THAT EVERYONE CAN ENGAGE  IN ACTIVITIES THAT ARE CHALLENGING, REWARDING AND FUN. WE WANT TO RAISE PEOPLES' EXPECTATIONS OF THEMSELVES (AND THE SERVICES THEY USE) AND TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO DO MORE THAN THEY THINK THEY CAN.
 
THE GROUPS AND CLASSES WE OFFER ALL HELP TO BUILD SELF-ESTEEM AND CONFIDENCE, SOCIAL SKILLS AND SUPPORT NETWORKS ,WHILE LEARNING TO DO NEW THINGS.
WE HAVE A STRONG INTEREST IN, AND COMMITMENT TO OFFERING ACTIVITIES WHICH PROMOTE HEALTHIER LIFESTYLES, PARTICULARLY THOSE IMPROVING DIET AND EXERCISE. 
 

WE HOPE THAT PEOPLE WORKING IN MENTAL HEALTH WILL FIND OUR WEBSITE USEFUL, NOT JUST FOR THEIR OWN INFORMATION,BUT ALSO AS A STARTING POINT WITH PEOPLE THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT REFERRING TO THE PROJECT.
