“Sharing doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human.”

Justin grew up believing men shouldn’t show emotion, you worked hard, stayed quiet, and got on with it. After redundancy, his drinking spiralled, leading to multiple hospitalisations before he arrived at Phoenix Glasgow.

Opening up felt impossible at first. But in groups, with patient support, he realised honesty was the turning point:
“Once I shared something real, everything changed.”

Justin graduated, started volunteering, and is now a Therapeutic Worker at Rae House, supporting others through the same journey he’s made. He’s even brought his love of fishing into the work, creating calm spaces for men to connect without pressure.

His story is a reminder that recovery grows from vulnerability, community, and the courage to ask for help.

💛 Get tested – it could save your life. 💛

Hepatitis C is a bloodborne virus which can cause liver cirrhosis and cancer. With few initial symptoms the infection often goes unnoticed until it’s caused significant liver damage. Early testing is vital, as quick detection and treatment reduces the likelihood of serious liver damage.

The facts: Globally, around 58 million people live with chronic hepatitis C, with about 1.5 million new infections every year. More than 95% of people who are treated can be cured.

How it spreads: Most infections occur through exposure to blood (from unsafe injection practices, unsafe health care, unscreened blood transfusions) and some sexual practices. It can also spread through tattoos, sharing razors and even toothbrushes.

Get tested today:
✅ Our clients: Speak to your recovery worker in confidence
✅ Everyone else: Contact your GP, local pharmacy, or a sexual health clinic

Your health matters. Take the first step today. 💛
