It’s amazing how we get support off each other as well as the support workers

 

"I first discovered First Steps in my second year of sixth form, I saw a poster and I thought that it would be such a good idea to contact them, as I had only been talking through things with the school nurse’s that came in, and they didn’t really help much.  I first met Danielle and I was a bit apprehensive of what to expect, but everyone at First Steps have been particularly supportive and extremely helpful. Since then I have now been coming to First Steps for about a year now, and I have eventually managed to go to the support groups on a Wednesday night, which was a big step for me. I have found these groups so helpful, as we cover topics that can be quite difficult to talk about with people outside of the group and everyone there is so friendly and welcoming and it’s amazing how we get support off each other as well as the support workers. We also do fun sessions as well where we can learn new skills, and also just have fun and relax. Everyone who works at First Steps have really helped me so much, and I am so glad that I plucked up the courage to contact them, because they have already changed my life so much, and I know that they are there to change so many more people’s lives. I just want to say a big thank you to everyone there, especially Danielle as she has been a great support, and has really encouraged me, especially into getting into the support groups, a thing I was very nervous about! Thank You First Steps!!!!"
