Last year, all funds raised through Moving for your Mind went to our Dialectical and Behavioural Therapy (DBT) program which provides individual therapy, collaborative groupwork programs and 24/7 phone support for people living with mental health concerns.
DBT isn't government funded and it simply would not continue without generous donations and support.
“I’ve completed the 6 months DBT course and it has changed my life. Lutheran Services/Graceville have been great to deal with and highly professional and confidential. DBT saved my life.”
“Before I came here I felt like I was spinning around but now I am moving forward.”
“TRP has done so much for me. It’s incredible to have this support. It was when I came out of hospital and I was very unwell. Now I’ve found a job and the kids have started counselling.”
“The program helped me achieve the things I have been putting off for a long while.”
“I appreciate the opportunity to expose the inner me, I feel I am able to express things to you as my confidante because of trust. I wish I had someone like this 50 years ago, many things may have been different.”
“I cannot express how life changing this program is!”
“You have wonderful staff at Lutheran Services and I appreciate the support that they provide for the participants I have been associated with. The OPG has a fantastic relationship with Lutheran Services Graceville Centre and they are one of the best SIL providers we deal with.” Office of the Public Guardian.
“I feel that I can talk freely, and my clinician is understanding and very natural about what she does. “
“(Doing) art puts me in a positive mind space. I feel great doing it. I feel like I’m turning my dreams into reality.”
“Just in the short time with Mum last week you had a good impact. She is really happy to have found her way back to her diary using your positive thinking tool and this is influencing her energy and interactions more broadly. Aged care needs a whole lot more of you.”
“I am really grateful for all the support he received in TRP. I’m doing lots of adult things I never thought I could do because of you, you guys helped me so much.”
“Marvellous program, attend weekly. I feel happier and less anxious & worried.”
“Your service provides a very valuable mentoring program which assists a wide variety of people. I felt well supported setting goals and implementing them with a person centred approach at the heart of delivery. Respectful, knowledgeable, great empathy and understanding. Highly recommend your service.”
“James is happy, relaxed and coming out of his shell. He has begun surfing again and playing guitar. Big decrease in his behaviours of concern due to the environment and reflective state of his mind.”
“You have been an inspiration. Our time together has been so uplifting at a time in life I found so overwhelming. You gave me guidance and support and encouraged me to remember who I was and who I can be. Regained strength to again fight to find what is important to me.”
“You have no idea how much this means to me…to sit here and have this conversation with you.”
