Last week we were presented with the Massey University 3 year evaluation of our BBM From the couch programme. The results were NEXT LEVEL. The most amazing result from the program, with the largest single effect size (0.36), was the significantly lower depressive symptoms observed among those who completed the program. At Week 1, 65% of participants showed signs of severe depression; by completion of Week 12, this had decreased to 20%.

I want to say a huge thank you to the late professor James Liu for believing in our programme, and connecting us to the amazing Jenn Sarich , and Gloria Finau. Jenn and Gloria fully immersed themselves in BBM to fully understand us and our members. The results prove everything I’ve been saying for 10 years, and I can’t wait for it be a programme implemented nation wide. Thank you to the team from Total Healthcare PHO , Tāmaki Health , our members, and also my amazing BBM Team. Rest in peace to our brother James
