People with long term mental health issues, where most of them have not worked for decades and live on disability living allowance, usually have bad physical health aswell. Although our psychological counselling programme alleviates their distress and improves their mental health, additional resources are needed to maintain this and to train them in self-management and resilience. A supported enviroment for a exercise/relaxation service will do this. A report by the Mental Health Foundation in 2005 found exercise lifts mood, reduces anxiety and improves self-esteem and concentration. So if a service like this exists the many benefits include maintaining clients in their improved state and readying them for approaches back to work.
