"Heroin and pregnancy"

About: Change Grow Live Cambridgeshire / Wisbech

(as a service user),

came to service when finding out about pregnancy, started a methadone script and face to face and then much telephone support with Frances.

I was lucky to have a Doctor to call monthly.

Cannot fault the care received during pregnancy, Frances never failed to remember, like when my dad was poorly she wold ask after him, also called my unborn son, by his name, she always made it personal, ive never felt uncomfortable with Frances or felt judged, always loved her honesty and food for thought as far as baby was concerned, my only downside is myself, and wished id reached out to get the help i clearly needed more of, rather than thinking i had it under control when i didnt. It wasnt through anyones fault but my own, and even though now Frances still hasnt judged and continues to offer support and reassurance.

After an upset was pleased to be able to come in and speak with Sabrina??!

she offered a drugs test, and gave me so much information on a current social services situation thats came up, and completely left me broken hearted, now upon leaving i have a lot more information, and i know whats got to be done, just goes to show sometimes personal experience, is so helpful at times.

cant thank especially Frances and Sabrina to whom ill probably be asking loads more questions on all this. Thank u xx

Hi sery

Thanks for taking the time to write a few words. Reaching out is the hardest thing to do and you have done that. It is never too late to do that whatever situation people may find themselves in. It sounds like you have been doing OK and I hope that is still the case and you are getting all the support you need - both within CGL and outside. Ill let Frances and Selena know your such kind words.

I'm so pleased you have had a good experience with us and I am so proud to have staff such as Frances and Selena in our team.

Thanks

Paul
