Meet a Therapeutic Service user sharing how face-to-face sessions transformed their journey:
"I’ve sought help many times over the years, but delving into the story of my adoption and foster care has never been easy for me. My caseworker at Adopt NI quickly showed an exceptional ability to listen, understand the impact of my history, and engage in conversations without a hint of condescension."
"This built trust and gave me confidence that this time could truly be different. Every issue I faced was treated with equal importance, all while respecting my privacy and dignity. No task was ever too small, and everything was approached with remarkable diligence and determination."
"When I began the support sessions, I felt consumed by the weight of my adoption-related struggles. Adopt NI completely transformed this for me. I am now a different person, in a much better place, thanks to the incredible support I received from the team at Adopt NI."
