“I'm living proof that things can change”
After returning to Glasgow seriously unwell and experiencing homelessness, Ian received support with housing, benefits and counselling. He has now moved into a permanent home and is training to help others.
“Coming here made me realise that I could do something”
Mark returned to The Marie Trust looking for structure and support. Through art and photography, he rebuilt his confidence and secured a place at college.
“Now I can step away from things that are upsetting me.”
After more than a year of counselling and classes, Anne feels better able to manage difficult periods and recognise when they need support.
“Before this, I didn't have any support — none whatsoever”
After leaving hospital, Colin received support with unsafe housing conditions, energy debt, benefits and staying connected with services.
“When you can't read and write, you always feel small in a box. It's very difficult to climb out and say, 'I'm going to do this.'”
“We only go to college once a week, but the app is there every day.”
“I did it and it said it was right. I felt so relieved and happy inside.”
“I've got a lot better by using the app. I can make mistakes on it.”
