Ask for support if you need it

This , we’re talking about what it means to take ‘action’, but mental health action doesn’t have to be big.

It can start with a question. A check-in. A real conversation.

If someone you care about is struggling with alcohol, drugs or their mental health - listening without judgement can be life-changing.

This week, take action, no matter how big or small: reach out to one person to ask how they really are.

Alex's story is inspiring.

After four decades navigating drug and alcohol challenges, prison, and homelessness, he graduated last week from the Scottish Drugs Forum's National Traineeship, a nine-month, salaried programme that helps people with lived experience build careers in the sector.

Alex was one of several graduates who completed placements with us. May Riddell, also featured in the article, did her first placement with WithYou 14 years ago. She now runs her own therapy business.

Both said they felt welcomed from day one and found the experience genuinely enjoyable. That means a great deal to us.

We're proud to support programmes like this. Lived experience is not a barrier, it's a strength. And it's exactly the kind of insight that makes our services better.

His journey, the turning points, and what it takes to change your life, is well worth a read.

Thomas Delaney’s addiction issues started when he was a teen and worsened through his 20s. Eventually, an argument with his mother led him to change everything
