Amazing and invaluable service

5
I’d just like to say what an amazing and invaluable service First Steps ED have provided during the lockdown and continue to provide. The online groups and ChatED I’ve accessed and used (a lot!) and I can honestly say that it has made a massive (positive) difference to my mental health during lockdown. Yes, I’ve had my share of ups and downs, including some particularly difficult episodes, but it has definitely been made easier with First Steps.
