I was a little nervous when I first came to my session at Derby City Life Links but I’m glad I did and I think my Recovery Worker a credit to Derby City Life Links. She really does what she signed up to do and that is try to help…

I always look forward to seeing my Recovery Worker in our 1-1 sessions and also now in the peer support groups.

My 1-1 sessions are very personal to me, I have opened up about things that I have not been able to tell other mental health professionals in the past.

During my 1-1 sessions I feel extremely comfortable and safe talking through the reasons I sought out help.

I couldn’t recommend you enough as both an individual and as a service, and your support was greatly beneficial to my mental state, giving me many coping strategies and helping me rethink things in ways that aide me.

I’ve had a very positive experience with Derby City Life Links. My recovery worker was very supportive, I had somewhere to come and talk about my situation and I was able to work towards my future goals. I learned mindfulness and assertiveness techniques, which have definitely helped me to get clearer on my healing journey.

TraceyLife Links Client

I called Derby City Life Links after I found myself struggling to afford food for my three children. Life Links helped me contact various organisations and food banks and now we have enough food to last us two weeks. We all really appreciate your help, especially in these difficult times. Thank you from the whole family!
