Hi every one My name is Mark, I personally use the Mind in Camden services, I have been going for around 5-6 weeks now. I attend the Group sessions once a week in the evenings and also use the one on one Therapy sessions once a week.
How I came to use Mind in Camden was 2 years ago I had a mental brake down ( wont go into details here just yet maybe later on ). The doctors sent me to the in house psychiatrist at the surgery, but with them you only get around 10 session then it ends.
Was lucky that as this was ending a new group was set up called On Track It is the 1st one to be run and we was used as Ginnie pigs to see if it would be viable for others to get group's going, It was a good group but it only ran for 9 weeks. I still have no idea weather or not they was successful.
Once all that had finished I was left back at home slowly slipping backwards, then a friend gave me the phone number to Mind in Camden. After my 1st group session there I found the people running it was not only professional, they also really care about the group and every single person in it. They go out of there way to make you feel comfortable and to help you in any way the service can.
With Mind in Camden I feel there is a place I can go to and express myself, feel at ease, and most of all have people to talk too that WILL LISTEN, I have no worries that is 6 weeks the group will stop, The one on one Therapist I have has brought me on with leaps and bounds, and feel privileged to have her helping me.
Well thats me maybe other would like to help this forum take off. As we all know not every one can get these services. Thats why this forum was set up to be used by not just the people who use the group, but for EVERY one no matter where you are.
I know that some of the people who work for Mind in Camden will be useing this forum and also to give out some advice to people who need it. It will in no way be a place to get one on one Therapy. What we hope is to bring people together who can talk to each other and to help each other.
So please join in, I know there is not much here yet but its just started and fingers crossed if the person reading this writes a post then maybe more will join in.
Heres wishing you all well and hope to talk to people soon.
