Ted’s story

Ted learnt about his own mental health and realised he wasn't alone in struggling when he started attending our support groups in County Durham.

A photograph of Ted, who was supported by Waythrough. He is stood in a leafy garden, wearing a striped shirt and looking straight at the camera.

“I used to call it paranoia. I never knew what anxiety meant until I was in the service and one of the workers told us.”
