The continuing journey

About: Community Mental Health / Move Ahead - Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Service

(as a service user),

Long term mental health struggles have made a normal existence unattainable.  The tuesday & thursday groups provide some structure to the week and put me in a social situation which I wouldnt otherwise.

Without the staff and volunteers at MoveAhead, I’ve got no doubt things would be very different for me.  It’s made more of a difference than I can properly explain. It’s not a fix, but it’s something solid to hold onto. And that’s what’s keeping things moving.

Dear evazr56,

Thank you so much for taking time to get in touch to feedback regarding your experiences of the Tuesday and Thursday Groups at MoveAhead. My name is Pam Lamond and I am the Senior Charge Nurse for MoveAhead.

Firstly, I am sorry to hear about your metal health struggles. It sounds like this has been the case for sometime and I appreciate how difficult that must be for you to feel like a normal existence is unattainable. I am really pleased to hear that the Walking Group on a Tuesday and the Nature Trail group on a Thursday has helped you to have some structure to your week, and very importantly some social contact with others.

It is heart warming to hear your positive feedback regarding our valued staff and volunteers. I will be sure to pass on your kind words to all in the team. They will be really pleased to hear that they have helped make a difference to you, as that is so important to our team of staff and volunteers.

Please do reach out if we can help you going forward, although it sounds like you are keeping moving though your own determination. Please do give me a call if you want to discuss any other supports we can put in place to help you.

Thank you again for your positive feedback and kind words.

Pam Lamond

Senior Charge Nurse
