"Set me on the right path"

About: Adult Services / Condition Management Programme

(as the patient),

After struggling with my mental health for the several years, I was referred to  CMP. I cannot begin to express how much this has calmed my mind and set me on the right path.

Louise has been my voice of reason and has non judgmental of any of my fears or worries. It has not been easy but it has definitely helped me change my mindset and work through all my problems.  I cannot begin to explain that 6 months ago I would be at this stage of my pathway.

The techniques and suggestions given to me have provided the tools I needed. When I started my mind was all over the place, self esteem at rock bottom, but Louise has shown me that self care is so important and is a necessity to continue my life.

I would definitely advise anyone to use this program, it is the first time I began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was also given opportunity to have CBT with Raymond, this was an extension of the program which has also given me the techniques to stop myself spiralling.

I really cannot recommend the program highly enough , both Louise and Raymond were extremely professional but also made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire program.

Dear Cmpuser,

Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience of participating in the Condition Management Programme. It is great to learn that after years of struggling with your mental health that the work you undertook with, Louise our Occupational Therapist and Raymond our Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, has helped you acquire tools and techniques to enable you to cope better and ‘set you on the right path again’.

I will ensure your positive feedback regarding the professional, nonjudgemental manner you were treated in, is shared with my colleagues Louise and Raymond as this is indeed encouraging feedback for them to receive.

I hope that you can continue to focus on your self-care using your new tools and techniques and that you can continue to cope successfully with your mental health and enjoy a brighter future as a result of your time with the Condition Management Programme.

Best wishes

Liz
