Angharad’s challenging childhood took a huge toll on her mental health. But with support from Action for Children, she’s building a safer and happier future.
Angharad grew up in care, and like a lot of children in care, her childhood had a huge impact on her mental health.
She was just two years old when her and her siblings were taken into foster care after suffering abuse and neglect at home. Those early experiences had a lasting impact on Angharad.
At 18, she moved into a rented house to gain independence and take on the next chapter in her life. But sadly, this exciting milestone took a difficult turn. The depression and anxiety Angharad suffered from a young age came rushing back.
Luckily, Angharad knew something wasn’t right and that she needed to get help.
I’ll always be thankful to Action for Children. I’ll always know in the back of my mind that they’re the reason I’m the person I am now.
