When Grant was struggling with his mental health, his workplace reached out to Back Onside, and he received 1-2-1 support from our professional team.

Here’s his story:

Last year I went through the worst thing imaginable as a father, and I completely broke and lost myself in the worst way. I didn’t want to be here anymore, and even though I felt like it was just a feeling, on Christmas Eve I was so scared as that feeling felt like it would be reality. I reached out to Jane and she jumped on a quick call with me and I honestly believe that call saved my life.

Since that call my life started to get back to normal and back on track. Even though I have an amazing support in family and friends, only with Jane I was able to be honest about how I felt.

I wish I had the words to describe how much her support and Back Onside have helped me I finally feel myself- and that is all down to Jane and this amazing charity.

Thank you to Back Onside for being there for me when I needed it the most.

Thank you to Libby for taking the original call and putting me in touch with Jane.

Thank you to Jane, who in my eyes, is an absolute hero.
