Testimonials

Impact From Our Work

Behind every piece of support and donation given is a person finding their way forward. These are some of their stories, told in their own words.

I can show up as I am – messy or strong, and still be accepted. I feel listened to without judgement. The Discovery College reminds me that healing doesn’t have to be a lonely road and having someone to remind me of my own strength when I forget is what I need. It’s about meeting in that shared space of experience where there is no need to explain every detail or justify how much it hurts.

Dan's Story

I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety most of my life. I’ve been in some really low points. Without the peer support workers I don’t know what I would have done. It’s been so refreshing speaking with people who aren’t pretending to be perfect or fine. We are all human, no one is perfect. The discovery college has made me feel comfortable enough to make new friends and try new things. I now attend a local games night which is such a laugh.

Mary's Story

I heard about the Discovery College on Facebook. I didn’t want to leave the house, I wanted to stay in bed 24/7. After attending, within 2 weeks my family have noticed such a difference in me. I want to get up and enjoy my life. I’ve been able to get local transport by myself, go grocery shopping on my own and I’ve also joined the local Netball team.

Bronwyn's Story

With my hearing difficulty it makes it hard for me to feel involved in a lot of group activities. However since coming to the Discovery College, I’ve made friends, and that has rippled into meeting even more friends, and now I have lots of people I can talk with in different settings.

Caroline's Story

I was supported on a trip to Fort George by Centred. I walked along the beach. It was full stones and seaweed, but I liked it.​ I went to the museum. I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the beautiful view of the sea. Back in Inverness, I went to my favourite cafe where I talked about the trip with my support worker. I told the support that it was a great moment of my life. Thanks to the support, next time I will be able to make the trip to Fort George independently.

Brandon's Story

I’d recently moved to the area and was feeling isolated and really, really down. My life’s been so chaotic, I’ve been through a lot, homelessness, substance abuse. I’ve always wanted to give back to the community, and my goal eventually is to become a peer support worker. I’ve only been coming here for 6-8 weeks and honestly I feel so different, I look forward to coming here and being a part of the community.

Rachel's Story

When I got my mental health diagnosis, I felt it defined who I was. It felt bleak. Now I am employed as a Peer Support Worker for The Discovery College. It’s not holding me back anymore; it’s driving me forward in a way where I can help others.

Debbi's Story

When I first started coming to the Discovery College, I was really shy. At the beginning, I didn’t feel able to come on my own, so I always came with a friend. Now I can come in by myself, my confidence has definitely grown. It’s funny because I used to struggle to say anything, and now I sometimes feel like I don’t stop talking. But I think that just shows how much more comfortable I feel in myself and in the space. This place doesn’t just feel like a service, it feels like a family. I feel accepted here.
