What are participants saying?

“Dad went ice-skating yesterday. Came home and he was just grinning from ear to ear – and this is someone who was highly depressive.

The behavioural changes are enormous!”

“If you’re on your own you think, I won’t do that or I’ll do that tomorrow.

Now, I get quite excited and think, 'Tomorrow we’re going out!' and it gives me a lift.”

“I sort of went into my shell for 10 years. And I wouldn’t go out, I didn’t go anywhere.

I started going out with [this program] and being able to communicate with people again.

I feel like my old self again!”
