🌟 Meet Leah* – a 14-year-old who had been supported by services for most of her life. Coming from a large family and living away from her parents, Leah often felt unsure about who she could turn to for help. She didn’t want to worry her family, and for a while, kept how she was feeling to herself. That changed when she met her Advocate – someone she could trust, who took the time to build a safe, supportive relationship. Over time, Leah began to open up during their visits, and started to explore what support she needed. No young person should feel alone when navigating big decisions. 🔗 Read Leah’s story: https://advocacyfocus.org.uk/success_stories/helping-leah/ *Name changed to protect identity. #ChangeThroughAdvocacyWeek #ChildrensRights #CYPAdvocacy (fb)
