"Helpful Mental health service"

About: Mental Health Community Services / Condition Management Programme

(as a service user),

I have been in a very dark place since  April 2021, Unfortunately I had to give up my work in May 2021 because of physical and mental health issues.  That's one of the things that I had to remove from my life, I had a heart attack in April 2019 which was a total shock to the system plus we as a family had been through a horrendous 5 years of cancer, bereavement, suicide, a break up, psychosis, our house contents destroyed by falling ceilings and other personal issues, all within that time frame.

 I was then kindly offered treatment through Dione my supporter from CMP in Ballymena.  She's so supportive and caring.  She is amazing, patiently listening to me, crying, angry. I was totally lost before this treatment.  I'm not completely my old self yet but if it wasn't for her kind reassuring words it would be a different story today.  Dione and the weekly zoom was a breath of fresh air that I desperately needed. All the support system the CMP gave me helped me back up and gave me my understanding back. I would recommend them highly for all their help, advice and support thank you so much.

My name is Gary Walls- I am one of the team leaders in the CMP service. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience with CMP.

I'm glad CMP was able to provide some of the help and support you needed, after the very difficult experiences you have had. I hope you continue to progress on your recovery journey.

I will share your comments with Dione and the wider CMP team who will be encouraged to read this.

Thanks again,

Gary.
