Some amazing feedback for one of our Recovery Practitioners in Plymouth!

One of the core pillars of the Devon Mental Health Alliance’s work is our Recovery Practitioner service. Our teams of Recovery Practitioners all over Devon provide 1:1 and group support for people experiencing mental health problems. This can take many forms, but includes emotional support, support groups, themed workshops, and more.

Recently, one of our Recovery Practitioners in Plymouth & West Devon received some incredible feedback from a service user, so we wanted to share it as an example of the amazing impact this service has every day. All the quotes below are from the service user’s Recovery Practitioner Feedback Form, which we ask everyone to complete at the end of their service.

“I have never before felt as heard and understood as I did during my sessions with [my Recovery Practitioner].”

“My support plan was tailored for me and I was involved every step of the way.”

“After 18 years of trying so many things and talking to many professionals, [my Recovery Practitioner] was a breath of fresh air. In all honesty, I am sure they saw right into my soul. They have understood me and helped me to understand myself. I have felt comfortable reaching out when I need support between sessions/to share wins.”

“My experience with a Recovery Practitioner has been life-changing. I have gone from being anxious all the time and barely leaving the house to actively seeking reasons to go out and live. I will be forever thankful for the kind, knowledgeable, personal support I have received, and I feel inspired by [my Recovery Practitioner].”
