Answer by REED – proud dad
Hello,

I am a 20-year-old man living in London. I am a professional photographer and recently set up a program working with ill youth. We started in about December and have worked with addiction, mental health issues and other illnesses. We work with all youth up to the age of 18 and are making good progress. I have no medical knowledge but I have a lot of experience myself. My Dad died when I was 13 and my Mum started beating me and my siblings. I became a heavy drinker/smoker and was a heroin addict by the time I was 14. I then became a Dad at the age of 17 and my son’s Mother left us two weeks after birth. I fought to get clean and developed schizophrenia, depression and PTSD. I became hospitalised many times from suicide attempts and was sedated because I was so violent. I’ve mugged people, robbed shops and been through more than most people my age. I now use this to help other youth going through the same situation. We have links with a lot of outside services such as counselling and drug rehab programs.

We generally offer support for any youth who need it. A few forms need to be filled out, there is no cost – if we think the youth would benefit from the program. We do not yet have any accommodation available on site but we are working towards it. The program is usually for 8 weeks, it includes activities involving photography and performing arts. We have on-site counselors and children’s psychiatrists and a range of activities for youth to get involved in. It’s basically to promote new hobbies and to get them involved with others their age.

It’s only just starting out, but feel free to email me for a more detailed plan of what we do and how we do it.

I hope I can be of any help, even if you just want to email me to ask something.
