Currant Affairs BBC Street Doctor backs Be Mindful campaign Jonty_newsletter A campaign to raise awareness of the benefits of mindfulness therapy for people experiencing mental health problems is gaining real momentum! It has attracted lots of interest from people all over the world. The response from healthcare practitioners has been brilliant and Dr Jonty Heaversedge, one of the BBC's Street Doctors is lending his support to Be Mindful: "For a long time I have been able to offer my patients advice about how to look after their physical health. With mindfulness, I am able to suggest a way that people can maintain a healthy body and mind that can really make a difference to their lives. But unfortunately, like many GPs, I'm rarely able to prescribe mindfulness therapy to patients because accessibility to courses is limited." We're calling for more recognition of the benefits of mindfulness in an attempt to make this beneficial treatment more available on the National Health Service to people across the UK. Help us do it by donating to the Be Mindful appeal now. Back to the list |
