2. LIFE IN TRANSITION AND REBUILDING
I am determined to improve or rebuild my life, but for now I am just keeping
it together.
I am worried by lack of money, health problems, homelessness, family and relationship
problems.
I am making plans to change my life by making use of services, doing some volunteering
, getting some training and I have some hope for the future, because I have
broadened my networks to include people who can help me and who can help me
understand why things are the way they are. I do have a few people I can trust
and I can have a better life.
2.1 What works
Using a wide range of services regularly which enables me to keep it together.
I build relationships with people beyond my immediate family and make contacts
with people who can give me opportunities to volunteer or to train or to help
me apply for a job. Networking and building relationships with helpful, positive
people helps. I am beginning to learn my rights and to take more responsibility,
now that I have more hope for the future. I am living in my own place and this
gives me security and time to work on putting my life together
