Dr Mark Wheeler from iCarp - EP. 13 - The Get Fishing Podcast with Jimmy Willis

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.

Anyone who has been fishing will know how beneficial angling is at boosting mental health and wellbeing. On the website, you can find advice and links on how to start fishing and find mental health support near to you - https://anglingtrust.net/getfishing/getfishingforwellbeing/
As part of angling’s offer to mental health and wellbeing organisations, we will be showcasing how angling groups have partnered with us via our new ‘Get Fishing for Wellbeing – Approved Partner’ standard, and the toolkit of resources we can provide to organisations working in this space.
We hope that championing these organisations to local and national Health Service Professionals and Community Link Workers will provide consistent opportunities for angling to be prescribed as an activity that perfectly fits with many of the requirements that benefit people with mental health and wellbeing needs.
