"Before, I was alone, isolated, vulnerable and disconnected"

Before the Liaison and Diversion Team through the Nottinghamshire Healthcare got in touch with me I was alone, isolated, vulnerable and disconnected from my family and friends. I was also homeless and suffering from anxiety and depression having just been discharged from hospital. My first appointment with them was difficult at first but they soon made me feel comfortable and I didn't feel I was alone anymore. They helped me to register at a local GP surgery as I had stopped taking my medication from when I was in hospital and I didn't know where to go at that time. They also helped me through my time in court and my appointments with probation and helping me find suitable and settled accommodation. Having this support made me feel good about myself again and gave me the confidence to move on in my life and build new relationships and social activities through gaining volunteer work. There was nothing that could have been better with the service everyone was so helpful and gave me more understanding about my mental health.
