Recently had a really lovely phone call from one of our students and it has honestly made our day. 📞
We genuinely cannot believe how far this young person has come. 📈
Around four years ago, life looked very different. Every single day felt like a struggle and it was hard to see what the future might hold. Things weren’t easy. There were lots of ups and downs, a few flying fists, a bit of bus hopping, and yes, plenty of comments aimed at us for being “irreverent” along the way 😅
But the team around this young person, and most importantly the young person themselves, kept showing up. Kept working. Kept pushing through the tough days and finding ways to make life feel that little bit easier. Progress was never a straight line, but it was progress. 💪🏼
To now see this young person grow, find confidence, and overcome barriers that once felt impossible is just incredible. 💙
Over the past month, we’ve had two amazing phone calls.
“Tom, guess what, I passed my driving test.”
“Tom, guess what, I’ve got an apprenticeship.”
Moments like this are huge. They matter. They remind us that change takes time, patience, and belief, but it is always possible. 👊🏻
Working within mental health can be incredibly challenging at times, but these moments are exactly why we do what we do. These wins, these calls, these journeys make every tough day worth it 💙
