Stories from our community

A woman with blonde hair, wearing a black blouse with red and white floral patterns, smiles gently. The background shows sunlit greenery.

I attended all the support groups, and for the first time, I felt really engaged.

Tracy

A joyful woman with braided hair sits on a park bench, smiling at the camera, with sunlit trees and yellow flowers in the background.

I can't change anything that happened, but it's not what defines me. Today is what defines me.

Kelly

A man wearing a blue zip-up sweatshirt with "cornwall" embroidered on it is standing in a garden with trees, flowers, and a bench in the background.

The WithYou team has helped me break the cycle. Life is so much better now.

Dylan

A cheerful young woman with glasses, wearing a denim jacket, stands by a stone wall on a street, with a red building in the background.

When I look back at how I am now compared to where I was, I feel like I'm the person I always wanted to be.

I love volunteering, it keeps me on track, and I can use my experience to help others.
