Mentoring Dan

This is Dan. He is 19 years old and he looks okay doesn't he? But unfortunately he is far from okay. He is currently experiencing some extreme mental health challenges ie severe anxiety / anger, substance misuse, self harm and obsessive suicidal thoughts.

Autumn Moments

The brambles, with their spiky tendrils now offer their sweet blackberries too. Which will you choose? What path will you take now that you have arrived here?
