How Debbie turned her life around

Not too long ago, Debbie's world came crashing down. With the our help, she came through.

Shortly after Debbie's son was born she became a single mother and soon after that, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

With no support network close to her, the future looked bleak. But with the help of the Mental Health Foundation, she was able to turn her life around with Creating Connections.
