‘At my lowest ebb there was someone there for me and it has made so much difference- life’s now on the up and up!’
From a patient
‘Blythe House is a safe, supportive haven. A place where I can say the unspeakable, get the help I need to manage the unbearable, off-load my worry, anger and frustrations. Their help then enables us to carry on laughing, living and thoroughly enjoying the life we still have together.’
