"Supported with a human touch"

About: Adult Mental Health Community / IPS Futures Positive - City

(as a service user),

I met Alex and Emma from employment support a few years ago in a dark time in my life.  They supported me for an extended time. I felt understood for the first time and was able to problem solve and found work after not working for 7 years. I'm in my second job as rehab support worker. My confidence has improved and each time I had a concern I discussed with Alex or Emma. Emma supported with discussing my strengths and my interests and work options and with applications as I have ADHD and dyslexia. 

I think Alex and Emma add  human touch and kindness to care and are  very genuine. I feel more optimistic about the future now
