The Crisis House • “Thank you very much for taking me in at my time of need and for all the support you have given in the past week. I hope that this support will carry on in the future. I cannot thank the staff enough for their hospitality and understanding. I would recommend the service to anyone who suffers with mental health problems like myself, who need a break and someone to talk to. Once again thank you very much and may your work be successful in the future. ” Welcome to Gofal • “The Crisis House does exactly what it says on the tin. The Crisis House and Crisis Team work perfectly together. It gives me total rest and rest for my brain. When I’ve left I feel positive about the future but return home to face the wolves. It’s a lack of community support that causes me problems. ”
Crisis Services “I don’t know what I would have done without this service. My worker was constantly in touch, supporting me and advising me when I found it tough to make decisions for myself. She went above and beyond her duty for me and I am so, so grateful that there is this service for people with mental health needs. I felt I was being cared for and that I mattered. I am in a better position than I was this time last year and I know my progress is slow but I am moving forward for this service. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. ” - J. D.
