“Many times, in the past I’ve wondered why I’m here but since the course I don’t have that feeling at all. I have something to live for. I have my business head back again”

“I can go back in my life and see what the cause of my problems were now and understand why I was still bothered about things. More importantly I can move on with my life without it affecting me. The session about childhood was a hard one but we had a three-week break at Christmas time. I was able to put the stuff I had learnt into practice with the tools I had. I have done steps to wellbeing, connective brain therapy, art therapy and could never understand it but here on this course, I just got it.
I used to have a good job as a Business Manager for Screwfix. Then I was offered a job by a man and I invested a lot of my own money into a company that turned out never to exist. I was a victim of fraud and lost my home and £46,000. Last year I had to bankrupt myself and that’s why the business had to stop.
I am so much stronger now. I’m proud to say that I’ve started to say no and have stuck by my guns. I don’t need to give a reason. I’m happy living on my own. I don’t want someone to come into my life and overrule me and tell me what I’m thinking.
The best part of the course is when it was helping me to understand myself and plan for the future, because that is one thing I never do. I’ve enjoyed it all. I want everyone I know to come here and I would love my daughter to come.”
“I’ve been depressed for years and that has now lifted. One of the skills I learned on this course is the push-back exercise – and how to stop beating yourself up and move forward. I’ve been good at looking at the outside in for other people but never valued myself enough to do it for me.”

“The Safe New Futures self-development programme was wonderful - it has changed my life.
My sleep pattern has improved - up until now I’ve been staying up until 4 am watching TV and playing games, and then not getting up until noon. Now I get up at 9am or sometimes earlier.
I’ve started a part-time job with a charity called Wessex driveability. They assess people who have had their licenses revoked to see if they can drive an adaptive vehicle. My job is to check the fluids and keep them road worthy. I used to be a chauffeur and most of my life has been driving.
I want to work with people, and more specifically older people, who have Alzheimer’s or dementia. This group has helped me to change and get up and go to an interview. When you’re not working it’s a downward spiral and you try to escape from everything; you end up not wanting to think about things. Then you get more depressed because you’re not functioning in a normal way and so you try to hide away even more. I feel like I’ve broken out of it, I’m feeling happy now.
The course helped me identify lots of new skills and has given me the tools to use these and a positive way of thinking. One thing I loved is this idea of looking at goals – short and long term and then visualising them and then writing them as if it is happening now in the present.
Michael, our trainer, is fantastic and his delivery is patient. He is a square peg in a square hole. His knowledge is awesome, and he lets everyone finish talking. There is no rushing and he waits for the slowest person to catch up. Kim our volunteer is also fabulous.”
