Wirral Pathfinders
Wirral Pathfinders was formed by Mental Health service users who when discharged from hospital found great difficulty in finding the support they needed to help them cope with their problems. They had found trying to talk to people who have never experienced mental distress themselves was difficult because they did not understand why they could not go to places, do things they used to do or why they suffered from any other symptoms they had. They found that by talking to others with similar problems, take away the isolation and helped them to overcome these problems; it really did take that heavy weight off their shoulders and help them to regain their confidence and self-esteem. |
