First Stop has over 20 years experience of working with a vast range of people from all walks of life who feel they are being left behind, struggling with some of life's difficulties and who have past experiences that have left them with trauma histories, making them feel isolated, unheard and unaccepted in our world. Many of the issues are similar and fit into groups of problems such as money, housing, mental health, behaviours, addictions, relationships etc. Those living in deprivation have poor working histories, with many having never worked, living solely on benefits and no confidence to believe their life could be any better than the hand to mouth existence they have experienced for years. A large portion of whom are experiencing poor mental health which adds to their vulnerabilities.
