Sarah's Story

"It took me a lot of courage to seek help for my mental health. A friend recommended counselling at Hobsons Bay Youth Services because it’s free for young people and very helpful. After the first session it was like my burdens went down. Counselling gave me someone to talk to.

"Counselling has helped me heal. It’s also taught me to explore my purpose and practice being hopeful."
