"My Support"

About: Community Mental Health / Move Ahead - Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Service

(as a service user),

Over the last 30 years, following the death of both parents in a road traffic accident, I have used mental health services in Perth.

I have always been very well supported by all those involved in my care and treatment. 

I found that recently that I had been isolating myself and not going out. I was aware of a service in Perth city called MoveAhead, I contacted them and since I have been working with Jamie, my outlook on life has become far more positive and I feel that I have a sense of purpose.

Jamie is very knowledgeable and is aware of the services available in the community. I have now accessed a new car through the Motability Scheme which I knew nothing about prior to my referral to MoveAhead. I have some work left to do but I know that with the support I am currently getting from MoveAhead, I know that I can achieve almost anything. 

I cannot praise the NHS enough, they are the safety net that is always there. I will be forever grateful for every service I have had over the course of my life. It's not just about myself, it's the people who you have helped in the past and those that will need your support in the future.

Dear Robert731,

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide the wonderful feedback about not only the MoveAhead service, but the NHS as a whole.

It's uplifting to hear that you have had a positive experience in your time with MoveAhead and felt supported by Jamie during this time and I will pass on your comments to him and the wider team.

I have no doubt that having now accessed the Mobility Car Scheme, you will be able to begin to enjoy the potential freedom this can bring.

Keep up the good work with your recovery journey!
