Nathan’s story (aged 21)
Following two years of problems within my family which culminated in a dispute on
New Years Day I was ‘advised’ by social services to accept ‘supported accommodation’.
I use the terms loosely as decisions were made without my knowledge, information
was misleading at best and fabricated at worst. The support at the hostel was limited
due to limited numbers of staff available, especially those who worked in the in the
evening, as being a college student I wasn’t available during the day. Even when I was
able to interact with staff I found them unhelpful, naïve and unrealistic. In August I
became aware of AKT and found their mentoring facility useful. I found it easy to talk
to my mentor about the homophobic abuse at the hostel, and how I felt bitter and
disconnected with my family sitting idly by as I was placed in a prison-like environment.
AKT have seen me through my sad times, and my happy times. They saw me in the
hostel and they saw me when I was rescued by the good grace of my ex’s parents.
The saw me depressed following the break-up, and saw me bounce back with my own
home, achievement at college, and a renewed sense of self-belief. AKT gave me back to
myself, and I’d advise any LGBT young person who feels they are alone to contact AKT.
They’ve been like the family I always longed for, and their professionalism, bountiful
opportunities and support in building confidence and stability is fantastic.
