"Insight Into Why I Did What I Did"

About: Lives Lived Well - Caboolture

(as a service user),

I was arrested and put in jail.for a month, for possession of 8 oz of meth.  I was released on Supreme Court Bail and still awaiting sentencing.  1 bail condition was to attend a day rehab at least.  I went along to Lives Lived Well already 4 mths clean and so glad I did.  The education and insight into myself they provided through logic was incredible.

I found it was in no way shape or form intrusive and the facilitators were so down to earth, understanding and non judgemental.

I recall they were firm in their instruction when they needed to be for the benefit of everyone else in the group if someone went way off track when talking to everyone.

I attended every session and looked forward to the next wondering what I was going to learn.

I felt very comfortable knowing the other attendees were on the same journey not necessarily at the same point but on the same journey so there was an instant respect for each other, it was just so nice.

I felt a little nervous before the first session but after that initial first session there were no nervousness before going, I was excited to be going.

I found the delivery of the information to us was great, a mix of handouts, role-play and videos, at anytime we were free to ask questions.

I recommend and will continue to recommend anyone I know that will benefit from group.  In fact I strongly believe the teachings should be compulsory in schools, everything is so logical but I feel we are not afforded the benefit of learning and piecing it all together until we already have a major problem in our life. 

I felt the facilitators Ruth, Liam and Sam were good.

Dear cepheussh54,

Thank you for sharing your story with us on Care Opinion. It is so good to read how much you seem to have learnt during your treatment at Caboolture Day Program. Incredibly, the day program often comes as a pleasant surprise to our clients. The fact that you attend and can go home in the evening is a great way to meet the conditions of your bail (as you have done), but it also suits those who have family and need to be present for them.

It is great to read that you enjoyed the program, that you felt heard, that you were not judged, that you learnt things about yourself and that you would recommend it to anyone! What a great accolade for Lives Lived Well, and particularly our staff - Ruth, Liam and Sam. I will certainly pass on your praise to them.

Keep up the good work and remember that support is available if you need to reach out in the future.

All the best,

Lara
