No woman’s story is the same, but we may face:
- Drinking or using drugs to cope with parenting
- Hiding trauma and shame
- Domestic abuse and patterns of alcohol and drug use
- Stigma around mental health, self-harm, and substance use
- Fear of losing children, housing, or safety when asking for help
