Here at Life Links we always like to hear from the people we support about their experience of using our services. So, we were delighted to receive the following testimonial from CF who has been receiving support from us for the last three months.

Reflecting on how she first came to hear about Life Links and the impact it has had on her life since she began using our services, CF said:

“Life Links was recommended to me by my GP and my local job centre when I was going through a really bad time and couldn’t see a light at the end of the tunnel. I was suffering really badly with depression and struggling to get through each day. I was taking medication but it wasn’t enough. I needed support to help get me out of the black hole I had found myself in.

I started Life Links not knowing what to expect or feel, I have found their services to be highly supportive and flexible. A key part of this is due to the fantastic support I have received from my recovery worker, who has helped me on the road to my recovery. She is kind, caring and highly supportive to my thoughts and needs and she truly wants the best for me.”

Fast forward three months and CF is feeling much more positive about the future, having found a new sense of hope and confidence:

“I would recommend Life Links to anyone out there who is struggling with their mental health. They have given me hope that recovery is possible when I thought there was none. I am so grateful to them and thankful that I made the first move to get in touch as I have benefitted greatly from my one to one sessions. Thank you Life Links.”

We would like to say a big thankyou to CF for agreeing to share her experience of using Life Links with us. If you or someone you know has received support from Life Links we’d love to hear about it! Please send in your feedback to the team at leicestershirelifelinks@richmondfellowship.org.uk
