"She brought out a totally different side of me, the side that had been lost and destroyed due to my past experiences. I began to realise my worth and potential, slowly my life began to turn back to normal, school life, family life and reconnected with old friendships."

These are the words from a young woman supported by a client that Prospectus are proud to be working with.
