-
- Society & Culture
Justin sits in the interview seat and talks to Huseyin about the joy of starting something new. Justin moves on to explore Huseyin's thirst for information, describing him as someone who always 'puts himself in the way of inspiration' - constantly driving change and finding innovative solutions to challenging situations. From visiting his Dad in Wormwood Scrubs Prison as a child to holding those same keys as a Drug Action Coordinator years later, Huseyin talks openly about some of his traumatic childhood experiences and how these have influenced his life in recovery.
Huseyin reflects on the inspiration behind starting Towards Recovery and his hopes for the future as the organisation continues to grow.
"First impressions count. We don't think more of ourselves than we ought to and we don't position ourselves as 'know it alls'.... We believe in connections and through kindness we aim to cultivate citizenship, not a client list."
