“Connect offered me hope, a hope I wasn’t able to find anywhere else.  I had the chance of a new life and took it – I encourage you all to do the same.”
            - Former Peer at Connect  

Coming to Connect for therapy is not easy, but most people find that the hard work is worth it as it leads to a much more rewarding life in the end.  Here is one example of how a former resident experienced Connect:

"I was a full-time resident at Connect for 18 months and have been a day member for 8 months, gradually reducing the time that I spend here.  When I first came to Connect, I don’t really think that I believed that I could change, and giving up my old ways of behaving was hard.  Connect is different in so many ways to all the other hospitals and institutions that I have spent time in, which was a difficult transition to make at the time, but now the structures and rules that I lived with at Connect I have taken with me to enable me to live independently, work and enjoy my life."
