"Ealing IAPT's Running To Better Health"

About: Ealing IAPT

(as a service user),

Thank you to the wonderful team at IAPT, Alison and Bev lead us most caringly through the entire programme. Their work is most valuable and truly must become an essential part of the real services that the NHS can be proud of, as it is often seen as an alternative and somewhat secondary care. In fact it is precisely this type of input which can be essential in the wellbeing of an individual, so it is indeed time that such programmes became mainstream rather than peripheral.

Their support of each and every member of the group was discreet and total and I am certain that they have been the catalyst for change for the better in many of the attendees. I cannot recommend them highly enough, simply urge the nhs to give such services all support for wiser health!

Dear “Keep on Moving”

Thank you very much for sharing your experience on Care Opinion and raising the awareness of this unconventional intervention for the many who want to take steps to feeling better. For those readers who would like more information on this group the following link explains more: http://www.ealingiapt.nhs.uk/what-we-offer/courses-and-groups/running-to-better-health/

It has been proven time and again that exercise can help with depression, anxiety and general wellbeing and we are very pleased to hear that it has been a catalyst for change for many of the attendees. Tackling low mood or anxiety can seem insurmountable but this course takes on this challenge in a fun, social and safe environment using a structured running programme for people of all abilities.

Your valuable feedback will delight the team and prompt more people to take up this opportunity so that it becomes more of a mainstream intervention in promoting good wellbeing.

Yours sincerely,

Josef
