Every time I see anything about Changes, my heart skips a beat. I have so much love for this place because it really did help me to realise my true self, and they gave me the guidance that I needed to forge my own way forward. The team gave me the chance to really Change my life, and gave me the power of choice back. My highlight of my 6-week stay was the morning walks through Northcliff but I actually loved every part of being there. Thank you guys and much love to you all. – Paulo

By the Grace of God and the wonderful team at Changes Centres I was fortunate to find my true self during my treatment. The long-term facility was especially an amazing experience. During my stay there I learnt a number of skills that forms part of my daily life now. Thank you to the team for the excellent work you do in bettering the lives of so many people who have thought at least once that they were not worthy of love and care. – Hannes

I came into Changes battered, bruised and broken. Not only had I lost all my family, my friends, my work but also, most importantly my will to live. I had completely degraded myself and lost all sense of self. My self-esteem and my self-worth were non-existent. Through the professional psychological, psychiatric and counselling services I received at Changes, I have become more than I could have ever imagined. The committed, firm, caring counsellors helped me to see myself, acknowledge and accept myself, forgive myself and start to love myself. The Changes facilities and staff are world class. Through the vast and professional knowledge and insights I found at Changes along with their intimate and loving care, we built the foundation upon which I could start to rebuild my life. – Shaun

I’ve done my share of 3-week inpatient programs. I’ve expected them to fix me every time and blamed them for not. Changes didn’t fix me in 3 weeks either. But they are the first to give me the option and encouragement to do something different this time. Because of a powerful family support program my family finally have the chance to gain understanding and guidance and their own support in this daunting journey. And because of the most dedicated, patient, irritatingly insightful and ridiculously stubborn counsellor I am finally becoming the person I have wanted to be all along. No one is just a number on an invoice, no one is just a list of symptoms, no one is given up on even when they give up on themselves. I have never been fought for the way Changes has fought for me. – Tracy
