I found that getting support for my son was very difficult (he has paranoid Schizophrenia) and was resistant to accepting the support he needs. Debbie has worked hard to build a relationship with him and gained his trust and has been patient and understanding of his difficulties. I would highly recommend enable support to families, carers and service users.

Testimonials

What clients are saying

Outstanding level of care, everyone was so kind and supportive . All staff had their own qualities which contributed towards the team.

I am so happy I was referred to Enable, I had lost all hope and was ready to give up, from the moment I walked in I felt safe, and so nice to be able to talk without being judged and feel hopeful for the future.

The service provided me a vital stepping stone from hospital to home and so grateful for the support and encouragement.

If you are suffering from anxiety and depression, Enable will give you the support you need to come out and cope with situations.
