Experiences

My brain seems to simply have wiped out part of my memory. I think it’s for the best.

ABIs can be caused by many different things. It can be a car accident, a fall, can be from violence – the list goes on and on.

I support a number of clients – individuals, couples and families – who are experiencing homelessness. Like so many others in this field, I entered this work because I care deeply about people and community.

I still remember the haunting words of the old next-door neighbour when he saw it: ‘Young men die in green cars.’ Stupid old bugger, what would he know?

In this interview, Fritzi speaks to me about her purpose, the impact of childhood trauma, and how healing is possible, even from the inside.

There are little reminders all around me of the time I lost from my children’s lives when I went to prison.

To the mothers navigating the justice system, whether behind prison walls or holding it down on the outside while someone you love is locked away, we see you.

I know that it can sometimes feel like society has forgotten about people in prison, but there are political parties that are supportive of changing things in prison.

Elections never bring anything good for people engaged in the system.

The thought of spending any time in close contact with Jonny sets my heart racing – and not in a good way.
