About the development of our Online Services
During the COVID-19 pandemic, our team worked hard to establish ways that we could continue to provide tailored therapies and support to our service users during an unprecedented time of social isolation and lockdown. We developed a range of online therapies, social, and peer-to-peer support, as well as the digital systems and processes needed to provide that support. We are proud that we were back up and running online by April 2020. And by August 2020 we had resumed carefully controlled face-to-face operations too.
The overwhelmingly positive response and feedback from service users led to us to understand the benefits that online services can offer, and the extent to which they are an essential and valued support option for many of our service users. With many service users unable to access our in-clinic support regularly or at all due to challenges with distance, transport or health, online therapies provide support not otherwise available. As such, the MD Support Centre trustees and team committed to making our online support a permanent addition to the services we provide so you have more options to access the support you need most.
