Episode 7: Harley & Casey
In Episode 7 of A Voice in the Dark, we’re doing things a little differently.
This time, Harley and Casey — two young people supported by Blue Triangle — take the mic alongside our usual hosts, Lian and Jacob. Together, they talk openly about their journeys into supported accommodation, the moments that led them there, and what it felt like arriving on that first night: scared, unsure, and not knowing what to expect.
They share how those early fears softened as they began to find safety, belonging, and a home from home , and how their experiences are shaping the people they’re becoming today.
