Everything Is Different: A Recovery Journal

Dear Reader,

The inspirational stories in this booklet have been shared by people who have improved their mental health and become stronger following incredibly low periods in their lives.

We chose the title ‘Everything is Different’ as it was a phrase that stood out in one of the stories we collected, and we felt it was a really positive message that we wanted to promote. Recovery is fuelled by hope and the stories in this book are proof that positive changes do happen.

I am privileged to witness hope everyday in the success stories of the people we support. These stories are examples of what motivates the team to work with such positivity and passion. By sharing these stories we hope readers will be inspired and encouraged to believe that they too can feel better, that things can be different, if they take the first step.

My thanks to the five storytellers and to Sue, who is not only an amazing artist but an inspiration to others; this booklet couldn’t have happened without her creativity.
