In Episode 13 of The Get Fishing Podcast, Jimmy Willis chats with Dr Mark Wheeler from iCarp.

Get Fishing for Well-being approved partners, iCarp is a programme developed in Essex that is changing the lives of military veterans, 999 personnel, vulnerable young people and many more by helping them overcome the debilitating symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Depression, Anxiety and many other challenging conditions.

Award-winning chartered psychologist Dr Mark Wheeler recognised a growing need to help those who were being failed by traditional mental health provision. In response, he developed a support package that has so far helped many people struggling with their mental well-being, with amazing results.

As a trauma specialist working in the NHS, Mark realised the patients he was seeing from Colchester Garrison were just the tip of the iceberg – many more required help, but a new approach was needed due to the perceived stigma around formal therapy. His original focus was to help military veterans struggling with PTSD.
