Can you see me, Can you hear me… Are you keeping my family in mind?
Where the journey began… Why we need to work in partnership
“They say things like ‘we only work with your mum’ but my mum lives with me so its all connected”.
“ Its difficult enough living with mental health problems, but it feels like me and the kids have all our problems separated out and then no one gets the whole picture
and sees how we are all affected”.
