Kirsten's Journey: Transforming Family Support in Fife

So for me, family, it isn't about my blood relations, to be totally honest, you know. So my family support group is my Fife family. It can be life-changing for some family members, you know, and that kind of for me is really positive to hear that feedback from the people that I'm working with, because I know that I'm making a difference to their lives and their family's life.
