Richard's story

“My house is accessible, and I can do as much as I possibly can within it and crucially help support my family, doing the things a parent normally does”

read Richard's story

I called caba; they saw that I needed help fast and got me access to a counsellor very quickly. With support I realised that I did in fact have the capacity to look after myself. My self-awareness increased, and I worked on my mental fitness.

Vandana's story

"After going through a divorce, my kids were settled and happy in their school, I didn't want to uproot them to another city or back to the UK. I had also exited my business so I could spend more time with my children. But I was stuck at a cross roads and constantly worried about what I would do next..."

 

Scott's story

"My advice? If you need support, consider contacting caba. For me, calling them was like a mental-health-999, but you don’t need to wait until things are at crisis. It could have been a lot easier for me if I had got support earlier. Things started getting better for me from the very first day I called them."
