Her courage and determination to live was nothing short of amazing. It's been five years since Tegan was first referred to our Linker domestic violence service and her life has changed so much. She is now completing her degree in Bachelor of Social Sciences while caring for her children. “I love who I am today – wow, that was big to say – but I do, I like the person that I am. I’m looking after my kids, I’m here, I’m present, I’m very capable of doing this on my own, which I never thought I would be" - Tegan You can read her inspiring story here.
