"I don't feel like someone with mental health problems when I dance"

About: Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust / Adult mental health (inpatient)

(as a volunteer/advocate),

I enjoy coming to events like todays, the Millbrook Christmas Fayre, but do get very nervous and get steps wrong when I'm dancing! I don't feel as though I am a person with mental health problems when I dance.

Hello, my name is Jane Danforth. My role involves helping our service users, volunteers and staff to understand that Notts Healthcare wants to hear stories about our services. We reply to every story and it really helps us to improve what we do, how we do it and to hear about what works well too.

Thank you for your feedback. It's good to hear that dancing is helping with your recovery and your mental health.

Others reading this may be encouraged to try it as a way to help with their own mental health.

Keep on dancing!
