"My name is Aleksander and I am a service user. This is my story."
 
I am David an 18 year old guy. I was put in touch with CADDY by my Probation Officer when I got out of prison. I had problems with stealing and getting into fights when I was drunk. I used to take cannabis, ecstasy and Base as well. I felt depressed when I was in prison, and sometimes I heard voices, although I told my worker it didn’t bother me. I felt a bit rough though and she got me an appointment with the hospital. I’d missed some appointments when I’d been in prison and she explained what had happened to the hospital. She phoned me the day of my appointment so I didn’t forget to go. I’ve now got some medication and I feel a bit better. I’m hoping I will be able to get a job when I feel better.
