(as a volunteer/advocate),

I had a major Mental Breakdown in Sheffield 3 years ago living as a normal guy good family and a responsible job aged 54 years at the time. Unexpectedly I had this breakdown which included suicide attempts. I moved away from my family to Lincolnshire to live with my retired Father in Law for recuperation and to rebuild my life. The support I have had in Sheffield was excellent but the support Magna Vitae have provided through exercise and Mental Health Drama has been revolutionary to my comeback. I'm now involved with supporting Mental Heath users  and working voluntary for the lptf. Going forward the Nhs in lincs needs to liaise with the management of Magna as they have been outstanding with empathy and support culminating in a play devised by them and acted on a professional theatre in Louth recently that has been lauded locally and hopefully more projects are on the way.

Thank you so much for letting us know about the support offered to you by Magna Vitae and how this has helped you with your recovery. It is so nice to hear that things are going well for you.

I will ensure your comments are passed on to the service manager of the Community Adult teams regarding LPFT working more closely with the project.

Good luck for the future.
