We received this fantastic feedback from a participant who wanted to let his key worker know just how much he has appreciated the support from him and Motiv8.
"Thanks to my keyworker at Motiv8, fortunate timing, and a shot of reality, I was able to catch myself about to fall - just. My keyworker talked about me, what I needed, and what was possible to get things on track.
I am honestly a changed person, unrecognisable from just a few months ago, and I owe my optimism, and many thanks to him and Motiv8.
Thank you! "
We have received this fantastic feedback from a participant who emailed his key worker to let him know just how much he has appreciated his support and benefited from Motiv8. You really don't have to struggle on your own.
He said: "When we first began to speak I was very down and depressed. I was not engaging and wasn't sure of a way forward with my life. I was trying to tackle my issues alone which was a massive struggle.
Through our conversations I found myself looking forward to talking and found the different activities you suggested, such as mindfulness, to be both refreshing and a lifesaver. During lockdown things were very difficult and you helped me get in touch with BIG in mental health. Through those guys, the mindfulness and our conversations I found the strength to get me through. I finally feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel. My volunteering with BIG and attending regular NA meetings has given me a purpose I never thought I'd have.
Now I want to help others who are struggling and hopefully be a positive influence on the world. I appreciate your helpfulness, honesty and caring. Words cannot state how grateful I am to you and Motiv8. I really do hope you can reach as many people as possible to let them know that they can achieve and don't need to be alone.
I wish you and all your colleagues all the best.You really made a difference and saved my life."
