Leon’s Story

TYS to the Rescue

The TYS team worked with Leon to: 

Express his feelings: Leon learned to talk openly about his emotions, which helped him understand himself better.

Explore his experiences: Leon discussed his relationships with his father and peers, identifying things that might be affecting his behaviour.

Build confidence: TYS provided emotional support and practical strategies to manage his emotions and improve his behaviour. Get healthy: Leon expressed a desire to be healthier, so TYS helped him apply for a gym/cinema card through the Princes Trust.

Positive Changes

Voice and family: Leon found his voice and is now able to be himself around his family. This has improved his relationships at home. Acceptance: Leon came out to his father and was met with love and support.

Healthier future: Leon is now on a journey to getting healthier and enjoying outside interests with his new gym/cinema card.

Quotes:  Leon: “I appreciate everything you’ve done to help me through a difficult time.”

Leon’s Dad: “Thank you for giving Leon the courage to open up. It’s made a huge difference.”

Progress and Goals:  Leon’s voice: Increased from “quiet and unheard” to “strong and confident.”

Behaviour: Improved from “difficult to manage” to “more controlled and positive.”

Emotions: Learned to “better understand and express” his feelings.

Getting healthier: Motivated and taking steps towards a healthier lifestyle.

Future Steps:  Leon will continue to receive support from the TYS team as needed, but he is on the road to a happier and healthier future thanks to the support received from The Junction.
