Stories of recovery, hope and promises for the future inspired by Mind consumers in residential services

Welcome to the forum! This is a space that has been created to provide consumers and carers connected to residential services in the North West are of Melbourne to share their stories of recovery and hope for the future.

This is one way we can celebrate mental health week together and be connected as a community through technology.

Please be mindful that your post will remain anonymous so you do not need to share your name.

Thank you for sharing your story and warmest regards to you.

Re: Stories of recovery, hope and promises for the future inspired by Mind consumers in residential services

My Story by a consumer of a Peer Recovery Community at Mind:

Recovery has been a long drawn out thing for me.

When I look back on my past experience at the Peer recovery Community I have found out a lot about psychology and the mind and how it functions.

When the day comes for me to leave I know I'll be ready to move on to the next chapter in my life.

My time with the staff at PRC has been beneficial and rewarding.

"Whilst I live, I love,

When I leave, I know sadness,

Before I move on I reflect,

And if I cry, I'll know that my time is done,

While naive, I see this time is not a loss,

As love only knows boundless harmony on the road ahead"

Thank you for sharing the consumer's (although I hate that word!) recovery journey with us @NorthWestResi. I wish them well on their continuing journey to wellness.
