OT activities infrequent but calming

"OT activities infrequent but calming"

About: Community Therapy Services / NNE Community Therapy

(as a service user),

Activities were infrequent but well delivered and enjoyable. It was difficult to predict when they would be, and due to Ko'Vid 19 that was even more true, as a result there were long periods of no activities, I understand the reason for this but it did not help mental health outcomes. When on, I found activities calming, focusing and very helpful.

Thank you so much for your story. Firstly, I must apologise for the lengthy delay in responding to your post. I hope that the team will reply also.

I'm glad you found the activities enjoyable but I was also sorry to hear that there was long periods with no activities.

I will pass this onto the team to let them know it didn't help with your mental health. It's clear from reading your feedback that the activities made a difference to how you felt and really helped.

I hope you are feeling better and continuing to improve.

Kind Regards

Jane
