“The service brought me back into the light. They are my safety net. I am doing much better now – it’s been life changing!”

As one of Glasgow’s leading mental health service providers, Carr Gomm Support Practitioners are lucky enough to be engaged in working with individuals on a journey of recovery every day.

No day is the same in our services, as people face some of the biggest challenges in their lives we are with them to provide advice and practical support.

Stuart found himself homeless following an incident with a neighbour. Living in temporary homeless accommodation is always difficult especially with a complex mental health issue.

Stuart also found himself involved with the criminal justice system. He felt alone and lost without anything familiar in his life.

Through Carr Gomm support Stuart was able to reduce his reliance on alcohol as a way of managing his mental health, establish a way of budgeting his money he could cope with and find a home that suited his wishes and needs.

The specialist mental health team that worked with Stuart supported him to do all this by developing a trusting relationship with Stuart and building relationships with the other professionals in Stuart’s life to coordinate responses to the various challenges he faced
