“I only came here to keep my daughters happy as I’ve been told I have to see a

psychiatrist.”

After giving him the opportunity to talk to another patient who understood his concerns and expressed that it was normal the way that he was feeling, he left the CCC knowing that he could understand his situation and felt normal with the knowledge that he could return and be listened too and understood.

“I have so much support at home from my family but am afraid to talk to them

about how I am feeling as they are worrying enough about me. It was nice to talk

to someone outside from the family who understood how I was feeling and had

time for me”

This is often the case for those visiting the CCC for patients and their carers
