Working For the Whole of The Oldham Community

Depression Awareness Week 21-25 April 2008

What is an intervention?

An intervention is an activity or treatment that we know can be helpful in fighting the symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. When talking about stress, anxiety and depression we use the term ’Common Mental Health problems’

Level 1 Guidance

These activities and sources of information are known to help people understand their illness and make them less threatening and disabling.  For all common mental health problems we know that there is evidence that making some changes in a person’s lifestyle can help. Exercise either walking or sport or attendance at a gym can have beneficial effects on people’s mood and symptoms. Likewise we also know that being involved in activities such as gardening, arts groups, support groups can beneficial. That is the reason for including some of these activities in the list.

The Links to the details of Intervention providers in this Level are too numerous to list on one page, so to make it easier for all they have been broken down into Alphabetical groups.
