Covid 19 - Service User's Experiences

I would like to thank LAMH for really helping me through this tough time. - CS
S has really helped me and has given me regular input over the coronavirus period. She is always there to help, is very friendly, kind and easy to talk to. If I were having a bad day, she would give me a phone call and it would really help lift my mood, particularly as the pandemic has caused me to feel quite lonely at times.
LAMH has helped me navigate the highs and lows for me on this journey. - LMcD
Your Facebook page has been informative in signposting me to community support from the very start. This got me access to food which I found difficult to source at the beginning of this pandemic. Your page also highlighted ways we can help manage the mental impact of this crisis with information on mindfulness and affirmations - both of which I have started to reuse again.
What can I say about this long journey - Ann
People with mental health issues find it a little bit harder in normal times trying to function on a daily basis, trying hard to find strength to do the little things others take for granted, like just getting up each day and facing your fears and insecurities. LAHM has been a lifeline for people like me especially when that black cloud consumes me and I feel like giving up, they are there to offer me support, advice and coping strategies.
As part of my recovery, LAMH supported me to get back into employment.
Many of the activities [on facebook] and weekly challenges provided have helped to keep me focused and have given me a continued sense of purpose. I have also completed additional online training provided by World of Work which will help me in my new job. All this support has kept my mood positive during these difficult times and has helped reduce the isolation.
