“I have found the course most helpful and I will use the manual like a bible to refer to frequently during my recovery and beyond. Thank you to both Dee and Victoria for delivering this course”

“This course was very helpful indeed but if I had had this course maybe at the start of my recovery it would of been a great more help, I struggled physically and mentally at the earlier stage after leaving hospital and if I’d had this kind of support and knowledge I all most definitely would not of struggled as I did, not all techniques suit me but the ones that do are great!!”

“The taught sessions were brilliant. So much information and so much good information as well, and very easy to understand. Delivered brilliantly by Dee and Victoria. Plenty of time for questions, feedback and group discussion with the other participants which I really liked… Brilliant!”

“The Energise Health programmes is an innovative idea that fills an important therapeutic gap for its target participants. It provides a user friendly, easily accessible, cost effective way of empowering participants to self manage their situation / condition, by providing effective and practical tools and strategies. The clients I have referred as a vocational case manager, have all been very positive regarding their course experience, and its impact on their journey. The programme is evidenced based, and produces clear outcome measures, which are helpful in determining further management. Energise Health operate a collaborative approach, with helpful and timely communications. The support offered to my clients has been very helpful and appreciated by participant and case manager alike!”

“The programme was very broad and covered a lot of areas. It was well designed and a lot of effort had gone into producing it and making it informative. It was professionally delivered.”

“I feel like I’ve got more control over my health. I can do more activities. I feel I am more realistic about what I can do and what I need to ask help for. I just feel I have got the energy to do the nice things in life.”

“[The Programme] changed my life... I’ve got my life back to start something better for me... probably better than it was before”

“The Programme is delivered by 2 very experienced ladies – Dee and Victoria – absolutely awesome and understand completely how to help people… it’s just delivered with empathy and understanding and you don’t always get that. And I think that makes all the difference.”

“The Programme allows for a ‘forever method’ of self checking… it realises that problems arise throughout life & all the coping methods can be used for any stressors or just to maintain.”

“It’s helped me a lot. It’s introduced me to lots of new strategies that I didn’t know about or didn’t know would help me. And they’re all quite simple and they haven’t cost me anything, so I haven’t had to go out and buy any new equipment… it’s all stuff I can do on my own. ”

“I found it extremely informative and helpful, I’ve learnt some valuable information and my toolkit is now much better equipped.”

“It’s been easy. You think, how am I going to fit all this in? But you don’t… it’s 5 minutes here and 5 minutes there and that all mounts up. It makes your life better. What’s not to like!”

“[The Programme] has helped me become a better person and family member than what I was even before this incident ... I was given something [a toolkit] and shown how to use it correctly”

“The facilitators are brilliant – friendly, knowledgeable, encouraging. It was nice seeing fellow participants and it didn’t matter we were all round the country… we all joined in and shared hints and tips.”

“I am coping with my pain better. To be honest, I thought I was doing okay anyway, but I’m not so sure I was because I’m doing better now. ”
