Adam

When Adam Started with Stride Yorkshire, he was in a low point; struggling with his areas of his mental health such as OCD, anxiety and sense of identity. On top of this, Adam’s Autism was holding him back socially. This was effecting Adam’s family life, his happiness, his motivation and his relationships with other people. This was until Adam and his family found Stride, and had an initial meeting with Logan, the first thing they claimed to feel was a sense of relief as even during the initial meeting, Logan was able to provide Adam with some coping Strategies around his OCD.

When Independence Coaching started, Stride created a clear, structured plan which was referred to every week. Adam spent three hours per week with his independence coach, and had a great deal of discipline in engaging with the sessions, and working on the strategies outside of the sessions. There were definitely challenges and dips along the road, but after 6 months of support Adam has his OCD under control, he has made real, lasting friendships, and has a job as a Warehouse Operative for Cefco, Doncaster !
