“Lauren, my family services support worker, was a god-send to me and my family.”
I made the decision earlier this year to leave an abusive relationship which was impacting me and my children and I can say with assurance this was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. Systematic abuse left me feeling incapable of surviving without my abusive partner. The crucial step for me came when I had Lauren’s support. For the first time in years, I had a safe guiding hand lead me out of the darkness and nightmare of abuse into a world with real tangible help and support.
Lauren struck me as someone who understood where I’d been, where I was now along with my children and gave me a real sense of hope about my future. This help was essential in the steps to healing and finding a way out of the abuse.”
“I can’t imagine how I would have managed without her support. She’s amazing at what she does. I feel privileged to have known her.”
