Care for friend but own worries

((tap heading to open post))

A lady came to a CAP Life Skills course with her friend, who was struggling financially, mainly to support him, who was already a debt client with us. Both she and he enjoyed the course, but when she completed the survey at the end (course members take the same survey at the start) her confidence to cope with life showed little improvement. On a subsequent phone call to see how she was doing, she explained about her own money worries and close-call eviction, so she too called the CAP 0800 number and is on the road to debt help herself.
