From Lost To Found – Melody Finds Path To Positive Future

A young woman from Wigan says that a programme delivered by Groundwork has improved her mental health and helped her to realise what she wants to do with her life.

Moving home from Trafford to Wigan was difficult for Melody. Away from her support network of family and friends, her mental health deteriorated. College proved challenging, leaving her isolated and struggling to connect with others. She eventually dropped out.

“It was a really rough period,” she recalls. “I had no friends. I felt as though I had nothing apart from a lot of anxiety.”

But then, Melody discovered The Team Programme.

Coming out of her shell

Melody says: “”This programme has completely transformed me. It’s given me back my confidence and made me much more sociable. I’ve really come out of my shell and feel so much happier and able to function. Previously, I’d felt so sad I was struggling to get out of bed. Now I have a reason to get up in the morning. The course tutors were so supportive and have been a huge help.”

Next Steps

The programme not only helped Melody overcome her anxiety but also provided clarity about her future. “I’ve realised what I want to do with my life, which is become a psychologist,” she explains. “My aim now is to get my basic qualifications and possibly do some volunteer work to broaden my experience.”
