Beyond Youth Homelessness - Grace

In this episode of Beyond Homelessness: Conversations That Matter, Matt and Ethan sit down with Grace to talk about resilience, recovery and building a future after addiction and homelessness.Grace shares her journey through substance use, rehabilitation and the barriers that often come with trying to rebuild life after addiction. She reflects on the cycle of recovery, the stigma people experiencing addiction can face, and the moment she realised she wanted something different for herself.Grace also speaks about the power of support systems — from early involvement in youth programs to advocacy, housing support and employment opportunities that helped her rebuild stability. Now a mum of two and working with the organisation that once supported her, Grace is using her experience to give back, including developing a program to support young mums navigating similar challenges.Her story is one of persistence, growth and the impact of compassionate support in helping young people move forward.Thank you for listening and for joining us as we continue working toward a future where youth homelessness does not exist.Support the show
