This month, we caught up with Bryce. After a difficult childhood, Bryce moved from Manchester to Norfolk in 2015 but later his mental health difficulties worsened and he thought he had nowhere to turn to for help.   Then he walked into the Aylsham REST hub and his life began to turn around.   Now Bryce has shared his incredible story of his mental health struggles and his journey to receive life-changing support from Norfolk and Waveney Mind.
