“I would have had a lot of language barriers and building up the trust was hard. My support worker can understand me easily and I have confidence in sharing my life story. Our support workers are from similar cultural backgrounds and understand my background very deeply. It was easy to trust out support workers and the team of Panahghar to share what we have been through.”
