Building Purpose, Identity, and Belonging: What Makes the Difference CIC
Rediscover your strength and reconnect with what truly matters to you.
We stand with you.
At What Makes the Difference CIC, we understand that feelings of not belonging or disengagement from friends and family can be signs of deeper emotional struggles, especially for those who have served in the armed forces or as first responders. We are here to provide the support you need to reconnect with your loved ones and your community.
Recognising the Signs. We help individuals who may be experiencing:
- Withdrawal and Isolation: Avoiding family gatherings, reducing communication, or distancing themselves from loved ones.
- Behavioural and Mood Changes: Sudden mood swings, irritability, loss of interest in activities, or emotional numbness.
- Negative Self-Perception: Feelings of worthlessness, self-criticism, and a negative view of themselves.
- Anxiety or Depression: Symptoms like increased worry, persistent sadness, or lack of motivation.
- Rejection of Support: Pushing away help, avoiding emotional discussions, or dismissing concerns from others.
- Expressions of Hopelessness: Talking about giving up or expressing a desire to leave or distance themselves from family.
- Sudden Lifestyle Changes: Abrupt changes in habits, risk-taking behaviour, or physical symptoms like unexplained aches and pains.
