What do the You Decide Team do?
The YDT support people to create healthier and safer lives. We provide practical support helping people navigate a sometimes confusing system to find the right services, organisations and benefits for them. Just as importantly though we also provide emotional support ensuring there’s someone there to listen, understand and encourage. We treat people as individuals and every interaction will be different, what’s important is you decide what’s right for you. There’s no judgement and the service is confidential.
Who are the You Decide Team?
The YDT are a committed bunch who have the skills and lived experience to enable them to connect and support those in need to find and access the right help for them. Many are working within their own communities so they understand the challenges people are facing.
What do those we've supported say about the YDT?
“The You Decide Team has helped and guided me through one of the roughest times of my life. Not only did they allow me to be the maker of my own choices but also gave me the helping hand I needed along the way. Being shown kindness and compassion helped me a lot to be able to make the right choices for myself and for my own life. Being in charge of my own life but having support has now helped me to be the person I was always meant to be.” Jane*
