A Journey Towards Well-Being
In this episode of our series, we delve into Jordan’s story with BlueWing. For over three and a half years, Jordan has been a valued client of BlueWing, navigating the complexities of living with a psychosocial disability. Her experiences highlight the importance of mental health support and the holistic approach that BlueWing provides. Unlike many services that focus solely on physical disabilities, BlueWing recognizes and prioritizes the mental well-being of its clients.
Overcoming Challenges: Mental Health Matters
Jordan faces various mental health challenges, including an eating disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, and anxiety. Before joining BlueWing, she explored other disability services but found them lacking in their understanding of mental health issues. In contrast, BlueWing not only acknowledges these challenges but actively seeks to provide comprehensive support that addresses all aspects of well-being.
The Role of Goal Facilitators: Building Connections
Joining Jordan in her journey is MJ, a Goal Facilitator at BlueWing. Since the beginning of the year, MJ has dedicated herself to understanding Jordan’s needs. She emphasizes the importance of building trust and connection, especially in mental health settings. Initially, Jordan struggled with shyness and often hid her feelings. However, with MJ’s support, Jordan is gradually learning to express herself more openly.
A Life-Changing Turning Point
In January, Jordan faced a significant life crisis that tested her resilience. Fortunately, BlueWing stepped in during this critical time, providing the necessary support to ensure her safety and well-being. With guidance from her Support Coordinator and Zoe, Jordan discovered what was truly safe for her. Reflecting on this period, she believes that without BlueWing’s intervention, her life could have taken a much darker turn.
Progressing Toward Independence
Jordan’s progress since joining BlueWing has been remarkable. She is steadily gaining independence by managing her daily responsibilities and working towards her goal of moving out on her own. The support she receives empowers her to handle various tasks confidently.
Georgina’s Support: A Path to Self-Sufficiency
Georgina West, another Support Coordinator at BlueWing, plays a crucial role in Jordan’s journey toward independence. Her focus is on capacity building and early interventions that foster sustainable growth for clients like Jordan. Together, they are exploring housing options as Jordan prepares for this new chapter in her life.
Looking Forward: Career Aspirations
With the guidance from BlueWing, Jordan has reached a level of stability she never thought possible. As she looks forward to moving into her own accommodation, she also considers her career aspirations. Inspired by the help she’s received, Jordan dreams of becoming a support worker or social worker herself—a role where she can give back to others just as she has been supported.
