A Shropshire man who successfully used a personal empowerment programme to overcome a severe bout of depression and despair has not only turned his life around but is now the Director of Business Development for the very organisation that helped him. He found help through the Self Empowerment Journey (SEJ), an evidence-based, guided self-help process provided by the Stay Mentally Healthy Hub in Bridgnorth. The SEJ process, which is at the core of the non-profit Self Empowerment Foundation, was so effective that Elliott became a qualified Consultant and Trainer and has now been made a director. Using the SEJ process, Elliott was quickly able to journey “from a place of fear to a place of joy,” stopping the negative ripple effect. The event will take place on Tuesday, 21 October from 4pm to 6pm at The Stay Mentally Healthy Hub, Faraday Drive, Bridgnorth.
