Chris's Story - StrongMen

Chris's Story

Having gone through a period of what could only be described as melancholy, where I was struggling with highs and lows with moods and understanding following the loss of my mother, I was put in touch with StrongMen through my company's employee assistance program.

Chris's Story

From the initial call, to the pairing with my one-to-one facilitator, StrongMen were excellent. 

They understood the feelings I was having, and the situation in how mum had passed, and they hand-picked a facilitator who had gone through similar situations with his loss.

Craig was picked, and over the weeks, a friendship evolved, and it was clear that myself and him were almost mirrored in each other.

At first, I was unsure if it was grief counselling that I needed, but over time, I came to look forward to speaking to Craig, as I felt it was important to talk about mum, and not gloss over the fact that she was no longer with me, something that Craig made very easy to do.

Craig Is an exceptional human being, for being able to turn his grief into gift to be able to help others such as myself.

Strongmen as a whole, simply, fabulous.

Hopefully I can get involved in some of the weekenders in the future, and at some point, say thank you to Craig in person.

Thank you, Tiffany, thank you StrongMen!
