Doorways: Holly

Doorways Lesson Plan

Holly left home at the age of 16 after a long period of stealing from her parents to fund a drug habit. She speaks frankly about her experiences in a "foyer" - supported housing for young people - and "sofa surfing" with her friends, and then back with her mother where she finally took the opportunity to turn her life around.
