Phillip's Story - Mid-Ulster and South Tyrone (MUST) Hostel

Phillip's Story

Due to depression and anxiety I found I couldn’t cope with keeping on top of things at home.

I have difficulty doing even everyday things like cooking, shopping or budgeting. I wasn’t coping well at all, so I had to give up my tenancy.

I went to a hostel but found it too chaotic, so I applied to go to Extern’s MUST hostel in Cookstown. Things were much more structured there for me.

There is a lot more support from the staff, and they spend a lot of time just talking to you and helping you get the support you need.

I feel a lot more stable and safe at MUST. There is always someone around to talk things through with or get you the help you need in order to move forward. I always feel understood and not judged by the staff.

They’ll always provide the help and support you need if you are willing to work with them.
