The most significant change as a result of my involvement with In-Voc related to a shift of focus on obstacles to possibilities. This was significant as it boosted my confidence and provided me with hope of not only working again but working in a job that I will enjoy.

It is highly important to me to remain self-sufficient and self-employed in my chosen career. In-Voc gave me extra assurance that I could continue with my vocation despite my injury. Without the In-Voc service I would have been struggling both mentally, physically and financially.
