"Support on my journey"

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia when I was 17 years old and have struggled for many years with my mental illness. I have had money problems and have been homeless. I got involved with the social inclusion and wellbeing service in and I studied to improve my maths and English skills. Sangita helped me to get a voluntary job in a charity shop and was supported to start an NVQ in Retail. Kerisa has been a great support worker for me. I have just moved to a new flat and I am getting support from Jackie and Kelly. Also my social worker Jane has been great, she is a good listener and is helping me with my wellbeing.
