On this episode Hannah speaks to Steven Russell.

He is founder & director of Elements SEMH support CIC and Steven Russell Drip By Drip Consultancy Ltd.

His journey began in the care system at 6 months of age.

His mother became extremely poorly following his father’s death in a car incident. So from the age of 6 months to 16 years, he lived with 10 foster families, 2 care homes and attended 5 schools.

Fast forward a few years, when he left care, he was becoming involved in minor gang activity, smoking cannabis regularly, carrying knives and treating people like rubbish. He was fastly becoming a hateful, toxic young man, and then there was Dave. Dave was an ex-care worker in his first care home, Dave was fun, loving, caring and understanding! Dave took me under his wing and mentored him to where Steven stands today.

As you'll hear Dave was Steven's One; the one person to not just believe in him, but to stay by his side until I was ready to fly. 

This is an incredible conversation that you simply will not want to miss.
