I came onto the trial in the late Summer last year and I couldn't be more grateful for having this experience. Having struggled with a Personality Disorder since a young age, I've found that other Mental Health services have not had the resources, time or capability to help support me through employment or any other aspect of my life the way this trial has. Having that in and out of work support (that isn't limited to 9-5 or requires a 5 hour wait by the Crisis Team at DRI) has made such a huge difference to my self confidence, my social anxiety and my whole approach to work.
I thoroughly believe that this trial could make such a difference to the way Mental Health is treated, I never thought I would be able to hold a job down - and this has given me so much more assurance in myself, certainly more than I thought I could ever have.
I want to thank Laura so much for her continued support and professionalism throughout the trial, she always made me see the positives and I couldn't be more thankful that the randomisation test put me into the control group!
It made such a difference being within a service that didn't push me for time, didn't force opinions on me and didn't try to push me into another service.
Thank you so much for everything! I couldn't recommend this trial more.
