Summary
How do you reach out to a friend who is struggling?
It takes just ONE person to make a difference. ONE person to connect, understand, offer kindness, care and love.
When Amanda was 16 she was already at rock bottom. She had grown up in a home where she was abandoned by her mother and physically abused by her step-father. She had been suicidal and self-harming. She was taking drugs and alcohol and had run away from home. In this quick chat I am hearing how a kid who was totally lost, abandoned and alone, turned her life around through the kindness of ONE person.
