The 8Wise Project CIC

Your help is needed!

Hi, I’m Kim, founder of The 8Wise® Project CIC, a new community interest company created to make practical mental health and wellbeing support more accessible to local people living in the south west region (Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire).

We’re currently gathering local insight to help us understand what support people actually need across our communities.

If you have 5 minutes, I’d really appreciate you completing our short survey.
Your answers will help us shape future workshops, resources, community support and funding applications, so we can create something genuinely useful for local people.

The survey is anonymous and only takes around 5 minutes.
Link in comments or comment SURVEY and we’ll send it to you directly.

Thank you so much for supporting a new local CIC trying to make practical mental health and wellbeing support more accessible.

I was asked today what are the key issues we plan to support our South West Communities with through the 8Wise Project CIC.

1. Managing Stress Inducing Life Events that increase pressure, cause emotional overwhelm, reduce our mental capacity and negatively impact our health and mental wellbeing.

2. Neurodivergent support for those with late diagnosis (formal diagnosis, self diagnosis and early identification). We plan to help people navigate neurodivergence by learning to accept and understand themselves through a neurodivergent lens, process and accept their past based on that understanding and develop effective coping strategies and life management strategies that help them manage a life effectively for them, free of guilt shame.

3. Mental Health and wellbeing support, helping people manage stress, burnout, anxiety, depression and low self esteem. We want to help people tackle the core issues that can lie at the centre of who we are and can escalate mental health deterioration and impact our quality of life

We want to provide:
Training
Support Groups
Digital Resources
Programmes
A safe space for personal development

If these are topics you care about, are interested in or might even want to get involved with please support, share and follow.

After years working across mental health, wellbeing and life management, I kept seeing the same pattern:

Good people becoming overwhelmed by modern life.

Pressure builds.
Mental capacity drops.
And many people are left trying to silently hold everything together.

For a long time, I’ve wanted to create something more accessible, more preventative, and more focused on helping people before crisis point.

Over the past few months, that vision has quietly been taking shape behind the scenes.

On Monday, I’ll finally be sharing more about it.

🌿 The 8Wise Project CIC®

We’ve finally done it…

After years of development, planning, learning, refining, and supporting people through stress, overwhelm, burnout and life’s challenges, we’re incredibly proud to officially introduce The 8Wise® Project CIC.

This is something Kim has wanted to build for a very long time.

Over the years, through her work in mental health, wellbeing, leadership and human development, she kept seeing the same pattern:
- Good people becoming overwhelmed by modern life.
- Pressure building.
- Mental capacity dropping leading to mental health issues.
- People struggling silently whilst trying to hold everything together.

And too often, support only becoming available once people had already reached crisis point and were in pain.

The 8Wise® Project CIC has been created to help change that.

Using the 8Wise® Method, the CIC will provide psychology-led wellbeing education, practical support, community projects, workshops, resources and awareness initiatives designed to help people better manage the pressures and overwhelm of modern life, before those pressures develop into longer-term mental health and wellbeing difficulties.

Because prevention matters.
Understanding matters.
And people deserve support before breaking point.

This is only the beginning, but it’s a milestone we're incredibly proud of and deeply passionate about.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the journey so far and we hope yiu will join us in the next chapter.
