Participant Experiences
I never thought I’d stop feeling hopeless. You helped me to see beyond my current situation and into the future
Due to a recent shearing injury, I was struggling to adjust to my lack of ability to work. I struggled with a feeling of purpose and RAW is helping me to adjust to what I now realise will only be temporary life situation.
You've given me the confidence to know that it's okay to take time for myself and recognise that my identity isn't tied to whether the farm succeeds or not
