We bring you part 3 of our series chatting with peer support workers from Doors Wide Open in Bunbury.

Tania also chats to us about what it has been like to be separated from her children over the years. Tania has had an interesting journey through recovery, and talks us through what it was like starting off in a faith-based recovery service before finding her way to Doors Wide Open.
