"Supported through drug use after probation"

Referred by my probation worker to work with renew after coming out of prison to make sure I didn't fall back into the cycle I was in before as I was committing shop theft regularly to be able to fund my crack use.

I was anxious about coming to renew and meeting someone new for the first time and telling them what had gone on as I dont like meeting new people. but my worker Shawnna came to probation to see me 3 times and did joint appointments with my probation worker in place where I felt ok going to.

After a few times I then came to renew myself and saw my worker as the weeks went on I felt more relaxed and I could speak with my worker it was helpful and I got regular drug tests and my worker kept in touch with probation encouraged to get back into work and looked at where I want to be in the future I appreciated the help.
