The aim of the service is to provide therapeutic exercise to improve mental illness and prevent/treat some of the physical side effects associated with antipsychotic medication.
We aim to engage service users in a structured exercise programme which will promote positive health and lifestyle changes. We support service users to continue with their exercise programme after discharge and make permanent lifestyle changes.
