Well... A week of support, encouragement, togetherness & acceptance at The Nest.
At The Nest there are no tokenistic gestures of support. We whole heartedly go into each conversation, each situation in the hope that every person feels heard, valued & safe!
Throughout the week we have walked alongside those in our community who are often feeling so alone. We can't always share their stories so that support remains dignified, confidential & are not being Used for ego or for a funding report ♥️
We do so much more than we can share.... this week is no exception. We share the following with care & anonymity, NOT so we are shouting about it, but so others know if they too find themselves in a similar place/situation they know that there IS a safe & welcoming place they can come to at The Nest...
♥️Thank you to the older generation man who had the courage to walk through our doors after a crisis & feeling suicidal. We admire your courage & are so glad you are now recovering.
♥️Well done to the person who despite panic attacks & feeling agoraphobic managed to attend more than ine session at The Nest this week. A huge achievement, super proud 🥲
♥️We celebrate the individual who despite isolating themselves from the world for a while due to feeling unsafe knew they could return, have a cuppa & chat and feel safe with us
♥️We celebrate each person, who despite their own confidence issues, took a turn at leading the group for Clubbercise this week while Laura was on holiday - beyond proud of your courage!!
♥️ Well done to the 2 people who have overcome so many challenges & made the brave decision to return to education at college . Well done on completion of your final assessment 🏆
