What are we doing
The CCG want to review how talking therapies are delivered in Calderdale.
We want to obtain feedback and ideas from people who have used talking therapies since June 2018 along with staff, referrers and people who feel talking therapies are not for them.
This will support the CCG to shape talking therapies in the future.
