Sally's story

Sally moved in and out of refuges since she was a teenager and had trust issues due to her previous experiences. Sally’s case worker was able to engage and build trust with Sally, which then supported her with identifying and working on her addictions. Sally is now in her independent accommodation for the first time in her life, and is successfully sustaining her tenancy and still engaging with AOD services around her recovery process.
