"Such a caring and considerate group of people"

About: Arnold Lodge Regional Secure Unit

(as a service user),

Coming to Arnold Lodge has changed my life. I have just come from High Secure Services and now I've never come across such a caring and considerate group of people. I have learned so much about myself and other people. I have progressed in such a was I have been granted leave to the shops and I'm allowed to have access to my room.

The staff are fantastic and they try to put their up most for the patients who struggle and are finding things hard. When I struggled I found the help from those who I got attached to. When I found the help, my harm to myself decreased as I was able to be articulate around my struggles and now I'm residing in a placement where I'm receiving great support and the right treatment. Treatment is good because I can learn about why things happen and I wouldn't change a thing for any of the staff. There a fantastic group of the team. The MDT are helpful and are supportive in many ways. I feel safe here, and staff are protective.
