A big thank you to Julie, our Peer Mentor Volunteer at the Yardley Hub, for sharing this powerful image with us 💛

Big steps can often feel overwhelming or out of reach. But small, steady steps are achievable and they still move us forward. Our motto across the Hubs is "feeling better is a result of small steps and repeated efforts over time" - and this image captures that so perfectly.

If you'd like to share your own small steps or learn from others on their recovery journey, why not try Julie's Voices of Hope & Recovery group on Thursdays 2-3pm at the Yardley Hub?*
