Rahul and Hafod Coach Idris
Situation: Young tenant dealing with bereavement, anxiety and depression
Action: Rahul is in their 20s and has suffered with anxiety and depression for a long time, brought on by childhood grief. They are on medication and understand their triggers generally. However, Rahul's mother passed away in September 2020 and they have understandably struggled with this. Rahul succeeded their mother’s tenancy and was rehoused into a one-bed flat during Covid. They have struggled to keep jobs and is currently unemployed.
Coach Idris has signposted Rahul to a peer-to-peer bereavement group within their locality and advised on specialist bereavement counselling. Currently Rahul is signed off from work until September after speaking to their GP but is proactively engaging with services and plans to return to work.
Outcome: Idris is working with Rahul on short and long-term goals on employment opportunities, building their CV and boosting their confidence, with the aim of gaining good, sustainable employment and reducing their ongoing interaction with their GP and mental health services.
