Early Intervention Team answered on 30 Jan 2019:
Yes! I love what I do, especially because we can see the difference it makes. You will notice on our EPIC MINDS website we have people who have been treated by our teams talking about what a difference the teams made in getting them better and helping them be confident. It’s really rewarding to work alongside someone and see them get better. I feel lucky to do what I do 🙂

Richard: Yes, today I felt so pleased that a service user had managed their difficulties in a completely different way, a small difference that has a huge impact.

Yes! It is so varied, challenging and rewarding. No day is the same and no patient is the same, you get to find out lots about them and really get to know them to support them to get better.

mandy here! yes definitely. so much to learn about mental health and the therapy we do and everyone is different. we have found more people are now being referred who have ASD (Aspergers) and so have additional challenges and we need to accommodate this in the therapy. in last few years I have learned about mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy and compassion based therapy. there is always more to learn apart from our initial training. and you can read articles books/ training if want more
I love hearing how colleagues are working – we all use different forms of a creative media, as well as talking

Great video, Richard! So important that patients can express themselves and get through hard times using art.
