How can we help?

Share your story

Whether you are a client or a worker, we think you are awesome and we know you are achieving some amazing outcomes. We love to hear your stories and to share them with the Suitsme community and to the wider community. 

Stories are powerful and when you share your experience it helps others to maintain hope and achieve their own goals. Sharing your story doesn’t have to mean writing an essay (although essays are more than welcome). It can be as simple as sharing a picture of yourself working on one of your goals, or maybe video yourself sharing some strategies that you find helpful to maintain your wellbeing.

How to share stories

Suitsme Community Facebook Group

Suitsme maintains an internal Facebook group. Only clients and workers of Suitsme are allowed to join and see what is posted in there. It’s a safe space where you can share with likeminded people.

• The group can be found here https://www.facebook.com/groups/2982904285065584
• We encourage you to join, even if it’s just to read what other people post.
• You can post whatever you like here, for example: photos, videos, stories and resources
• If you are posting content with other people in it (for example if you are a worker posting pictures of a session with a client) then it’s important that you get their permission before posting.
• We review this group regularly and we may contact you to request to share your story more widely. Of course it’s up to you and there is no pressure to do so.
