"I feel brighter about my future prospects, as I am better able to engage with people as my confidence has grown and I have become more 'with it'. I have better motivation and communication. I hope that a suitable position will present itself and I feel better equiped to apply and hopefully obntain it."
Steady Progress

Steve started engaging on the Roads to Health project about 9 months ago. At our initial meeting he was very withdrawn and lacked the confidence to answer questions and get his point across. He hardly ever went out of the house and was unable to lead a normal family life with his girlfriend and 2 children.
Steve and I started by going for short walks initially, this then increased to fishing and going to the gym to aid with his social interaction skills. Steve also attended the Roads To Recovery course and engaged in any group activities that we organised. Over time Steve found that he was becoming much more confident and felt more able to engage in things. He began going out with his family and made some new friends and began to look towards taking on training and looking for employment
Steve recently applied for full time employment and we are waiting to see how this progresses.
