Service Journey Example: John's journey to wellness.

Meet John, a highly intelligent individual who has a deep passion for music and cherishes spending time with his children.

In recent years, John has been facing significant challenges that have taken a toll on his wellbeing. The loss of his beloved mother, going through a painful divorce, and the added stress of the COVID-19 pandemic have left him feeling overwhelmed and led to an increase in his alcohol consumption, which is negatively impacting his life, work, and relationships.

Recognising the need for support and a positive change, John decides to seek help through PIVOT. He understands that addressing his alcohol consumption and improving his overall wellbeing is essential to reclaiming the life he once enjoyed…

PIVOT by Explore is a testament to our commitment to making a difference in the lives of those seeking support, and I am honoured to be a part of this transformative journey.
