As a counsellor, I understand deeply the importance of having someone in your corner – someone who believes in you even when you cannot quite believe in yourself. Our son has had that at More House, and it has shaped the young man he is today. His dad and I are incredibly proud of him, and we are profoundly grateful to the people who have helped him get here.
