Wiltshire: Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service from Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership

 

IAPT stands for Improving Access to Psychological Therapies and aims to help people access support for a range of wellbeing problems.

Many people can struggle to manage their emotions or feelings and need support to find helpful ways to cope. AWP's IAPT services can help you manage a range of common problems.

The three main types of support on offer are:
  • Self-help resources, for example information leaflets, relaxing audio media, and access to the SilverCloud website to help with difficulties such as stress, low mood, anxiety and some long-term physical health conditions
  • Courses and workshops which you can attend in person or online
  • One-to-one appointments, assessments and therapy sessions

For details of the above, including how to self-refer, please click here

Please note that Wiltshire IAPT services are available to anyone from the age of 16 years with a registered GP in Wiltshire. If you are still Serving and would like to access support, please speak with your Unit Welfare team, Army Welfare Service or nearest HIVE.
