The Holistic Day Service offers small groups of patients, (who have been previously assessed at an Integrative Care consultation in the out-patient clinic), the opportunity to take part in an innovative and specially-adapted evolving programme, in a trauma-aware and beautiful, supportive therapeutic healing environment. This includes clinical nurse specialist-led education classes, such as group work including gentle body and stress awareness classes, illness management classes, individual therapy sessions, facilitated peer support, 1:1 support, as appropriate. The aim is to help the person:

•  find new ways of coping
•  make positive changes in your life
•  leave with skills you can continue to use at home
•  move towards a better quality of life and increased well-being
•  have a sense of greater coherence and integration (feel more ‘connected’ to yourself)

The 3 day programme runs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 9.45am to 4pm with a follow-on session a few weeks later.
