Recovery Stories

Hear from the people we have supported…

Dear All 🌻,

I have been very grateful to be helped by the online groups for stress and anxiety this year!! Especially as someone who is very isolated. I have ADHD, anxiety, OCD and suffer from  chronic childhood trauma. My family always bullied me and are still abusive to this day.

It means a lot to talk to fair and thoughtful people who understand and are helpful.

It made a big difference to talk to staff, who all were knowledgeable, caring, thoughtful and helpful. You really do pick staff well !!! Everyone was sensitive and considerate.

Thank you for your time and care it was very much appreciated 🌹.

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.

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!

With a sincere heart, I would like to say thank you for spending your valuable time with me. Your support and guidance over the past few months was immensely appreciated! Indeed, it has helped me navigate through my tough turbulent times and given me a clear direction on how to proceed in my life!
