I have been living in QVT for about four years. I have been first in the house where we had 24 hours support, and then I moved to Adelaide Lodge, where staff support us a few hours a day.
I like to live here and get on with everybody. My key worker is offering good support and is always available to me.
I like a lot doing art, and I have been attending art groups. My artwork is displayed on the wall in the activities room.

I have also attended meditation and mindfulness in the past. These sessions helped me with my mental health.
Animal therapy was good fun, and helped me release stress; I could learn more about animals, hold them and stroke them.
I have been attending healthy eating sessions, and I learned a lot about how to cook. Now I am doing simple meals by myself.
Recently I have also been attending walking groups organised by QVT, and now I started walking daily.
Before coming to QVT, I lived with my parents; I might be completely independent and live on my own one day.
QVT support and activities helped me with my cooking and healthy eating. I am more independent, and I can better manage my daily tasks like tidying and cleaning. My mental health has improved;
I am not depressed and feel much calmer. I am more cheerful and look positively into the future. I have enrolled in Mind Lift Courses in Adult Education Centre and am looking forward to starting yoga, art mono-printing, and manufacturing pottery.
