“I would say if it weren’t for Chrysalis, I wouldn’t have been who I am today because I was a shy person- if I didn’t come here I would also have been maybe addicted to drugs because most of my friends I had are drugs addict, they can’t get rid of the drugs... and due to the fact that I came to Chrysalis I’m not even regretting I was here and thanks to Chrysalis I’m glad to say I’m a person- I’m proud to be who I am today.” (Female graduate in 2005 from Hanover Park)
