Evaluating our efforts
“I got so stuck I decided to give up on myself and decided I wasn't capable to do anything competently anymore so I withdrew from life. It wasn't until I
had met Connect Group Support personnel, & my Peer Support Person
that I felt motivated to get back out there again and give life another go. Having someone who supports and believes in me just help's.” - Angel
What Our Peers Say
