The Struggles Tyrese Faced
Tyrese was lured into the disconcerting underworld of county lines. His life became a cycle of fear, deliveries, and evading the police. His potential for a brighter future was under threat by his involvement in Youth Drug Transport.
CSKN’s Support
CSKN stepped in, refusing to see Tyrese’s story end on these lines. The organisation provided him with regular mentoring sessions coupled with emotional coaching, showing Tyrese that trust and care were not privileges, but everyone’s right.
Turning the Page
With CSKN’s ongoing support, Tyrese slowly recouped his self-esteem. He learned that his circumstances were not a reflection of his worth. Inch by inch, he began to distance himself from the terrifying grip of the Youth Drug Transport network.
