I just wanted to thank Alan the peer support worker in Ward 2 Psychiatric at Wishaw Hospital.His commitment for making people feel better highlighting the need for therapies and not just medication .
Alan consistently organised walks,meditation ,mindfulness,yoga,tai chi and music .
Since I was last in hospital just over a year ago when my Mum died there has been such a difference to what is on offer to patients .
It gave me a sense of purpose and empowerment knowing I had these therapies and they were helping me on my road to recovery .
I know Alan is keen to have more therapies and I am sure the ward could benefit even more if anyone is willing to give their time and expertise probably in the area of art,gardening ,drama,music ...I trained as a play therapist and can see what a difference they are making .Alan thankyou so much
