Testimonial

Coming to The Trust at CCARAFMI, I have learnt that I have a choice in how I react or rather how I can overreact. Since coming to The Trust I am now much calmer. I now know that I have a choice to react in a different way to how I used to react.

Fiona The Trust program facilitator has been a great influence to me, the knowledge she has is very vast and very suitable to this place. She sees the beauty in EVERYONE. She is teaching me to do the same.

CCARAFMI is a safe place for me. I don’t feel judged and if I do I know its in my own head. I am accepted here with all my quirks. I am appreciated and I feel this.

The mindfulness stuff is really important to me and this stuff works. It really helps. I never knew anything about it before coming to CCARAFMI but they have shown me a better way to live.

As a result of all the support they have given me, I now have a little shop called Lil Treasures, I am able to create and sell my small products that I make in our arts and crafts programs.
It can be very scary out in the real world but the team at CCARAFMI give me the tools and confidence to feel safe.
