Six men and six women, all whom have been lived experience speakers at the Stories of HOPE Australia events, share their lived experience stories of resilience and how they overcame the hardest times of their lives. As humans we crave connection and the sharing of stories is one way to achieve this. There is no one greater to bring hope to the person still on the journey, than the person who has come out the other side. The stories in this book, will inspire, empower and encourage you to know that no matter what, you are going through in life, you too can find great hope for the future.
