Do you know about the HOPE programme in Devon? It has been introduced by Torbay and South Devon NHS Trust and aims to help local people struggling with long term health conditions.
The programme helps you to focus on you as a person, not as a long-term condition. It helps you to discover new strengths and rediscover old ones to keep yourself well. It also aims to boost your self-confidence and resilience, to help you cope better emotionally, psychologically and practically with your condition. This is not therapy but more therapeutic!
The HOPE Program
