In this episode, we speak to Mark and Johno from iCarp, a programme that treats trauma by combining fishing with peer support. Dr Mark Wheeler was an IAPT therapist supporting veterans with their trauma when he realised a new approach was needed, as many veterans were not reaching out for help. Johno is a veteran who has been supported by iCarp and now volunteers as an angling coach.
In the episode, they share details of their new programme to support military veterans and working/ex/retired 999 and emergency services staff. If you are interested, you can contact Mark via their website https://icarp.org.uk/contact/
