Dragan's Story: 'There's liquid gold in every person'

You're about to hear Dragan's story. It's the kind of story that shows us the real and complex challenges some young people in our community have to face just to survive. It's also the kind of story that demonstrates the incredible resilience of young people, and the changes that can happen when an appropriate mix of support is put in place. 

This episode includes discussion of topics of domestic violence, substance use and homelessness. Discussion of these topics may bring up strong emotions, thoughts or memories for some listeners. If this is the case for you, you may want to have someone listen with you, or talk afterwards with a family member, friend, support person or your GP.
