A Somerset garage offers assistance to those who are struggling with mental health issues.

In Bridgewater, there is a working garage called Rusty Road 2 Recovery, but it differs from other garages in that everyone who works there battles with their mental health.

When her husband was having difficulties as a result of the deaths of their two children, Lisa Dunbar set the idea in motion. “I just wanted to join them,” Scott Dunbar said. “It saved my life and it saved my marriage.” You are occupied when you enter this room, whatever you are doing.

Lisa said by setting up the garage people can have as much or as little involvement as they want – there’s no time limit. There’s also lunch included so everyone can sit down together for a meal and chance to talk. so everyone can sit down together for a meal and chance to talk.

The largest impact you can have, in my opinion, is lowering the suicide rate, she said, adding that “this place has kept my husband alive.” Show others that having mental health does not mean you are powerless; you can be productive.

Jules Allen claims he can “relax, have a brew, chat about anything with like-minded people” in the garage.

Rusty Road 2 Recovery, in his opinion, performs “totally outstanding” work.

“Sometimes it’s hard to get out of bed some days,” said Hayley Newbury, “but this place does make it worthwhile.”
