Safelink have provided me with amazing support over the last year. My ISVA contacts me on a regular basis to see how things are going and is always available to talk through any concerns I have. I also attended a peer support group ran by Safelink that my ISVA referred me too and it helped me to realise that there are other people like me within the area who are going through this and that we can help each other through it. I have made some amazing friends and without the support of everyone at Safelink I don't think I would still be here today.
I was always fully supported and there was always someone who was there for me, they made me feel so safe.
Lovely, kind and helpful people :)
It was a really helpful experience, however it was made difficult due to my first key-worker taking maternity leave so I had to rebuild the bridges with someone new! It was however helpful
