Jonathan's Story
When I arrived at Moreways Healthcare I was not in a good place, my head was in a mess. I was taking drugs and I had run away from my previous placement more than once. I was anxious, depressed, self-harming and at times I felt suicidal.
Gradually I began to like myself again. I received lots of encouragement, I was praised where praise was due and given constructive feedback when it was needed. Staff would certainly not always agree with me but always explained why I could not do certain things.
The staff here are phenomenal, they listen to you and you can actually tell that they care about you. The nurses are amazing, they sit down regularly with you to have a one to one. They do care plans whilst you’re in hospital and for when you get out. The Support Workers are so committed to us and you can tell that they’re here because they want to be.
They offered me so many different choices of things to do including going to the cinema and other places of interest. I have been very blessed to have the chance to turn my life around. It is a good package and i have taken advantage of all the activities to help me on the road to recovery

Since I have been at Moreways Healthcare, mine and my mother’s relationship has been the best it’s been in years. I’m off all the crazy medication that I came here on. I can honestly say that Moreways has saved my life and now I see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Simon's story
I’m feeling more optimistic and life seems clearer. I think going through my recovery with Moreways has given me the ability to look at things in a different light.
I have always known where I wanted to be but just didn’t know where to start. Moreways reminded me of the vision I always knew I had. I always felt safe and taken care of.
When I look back at this time last year it is so good to see my progress. I still have to keep working hard at it but I am truly so grateful for the moments I get now of some inner peace.
