Shared on behalf of a carer at Rosewood Involvement Centre:

I've had a fantastic day at the Rosewood Centre today. Today was carers event.

First of all I had a lovely hand massage followed by a super lunch and then two carers told their stories which was inspiring. There was lots of information.

Everyone at Rosewood always makes you feel welcome and your views are listened to.

Rosewood is now my extended family, thank you for helping me during my ups and downs with my mental illness. I never thought I would be happy again, after 2 years suffering a breakdown and depression.

I now feel alive again and I look forward to every day rather than dreading them. I no longer have a bleak outlook, my life is bright and I am happy to be alive!

Thank you so much for your feedback on the Carers event, it is really appreciated that you have taken the time to give this.This really helps us to see if we are getting things right and where we can make a change.

I will ensure that the volunteer doing the massage is made aware of your comments and also the carers who shared their stories, which I agree with you were so inspirational. Thank you again.
