Health and Wellbeing: Liam’s Strides

It has been fantastic to see Liam continue to flourish living at home with his family. Over the years, Liam has been able to take big strides with experiences that have been memorable for him, his family and his support team. Liam and his entire support team have shown great resilience in the very difficult times during the lockdown focusing on the positives particularly the fantastic experiences Liam had in the last year including a holiday to the Isle of Man, watching his beloved LFC in action as well as attending a 50 Cent concert being the highlights! These are some major goals for Liam and the team at Acute Need feel very proud to have the privilege to be part of Liam’s journey over the past many years.

Liam’s mum Nicky said “Acute Need have been a rock and stood by Liam from the very start when he first transitioned back into the community. As a family we had a lot of worries over how things would be in the new environment but nothing has ever phased the team at Acute Need. Liam has made big transitions over the years including one from children to adult services but we have always felt supported and safe through it all. Liam has always felt safe and settled and Acute Need have always ensured that Liam’s needs are a priority and all plans are developed around Liam and what works best for him. Liam has a fantastic quality of life and has been able to engage with activities and experiences that we would have found very daunting when he first transitioned back into the community. The stability Liam and us have found through Acute Need’s support infrastructure has played a key role in helping Liam’s life”.
