my life to try and get away from addiction and criminality."

"Being able to get up and go out – before the
support I felt completely isolated."

00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:24.000
"I now have skills, I didn't have anything before this.
I feel part of something in here."

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:29.500
"I'm happier. And mum is, and everyone, we're all getting along better

17
00:01:29.500 --> 00:01:34.000
because she's able to deal with me and understanding me better."
