Carrie was referred to The Island due to the effects of her parent's abusive relationship. She lived in York Refuge when she was younger. Carrie exhibited high levels of anxiety, such as bed wetting and experiencing nightmares. She also picked up on negative language used by her mother and was observed to speak more as an adult than a child. Her relationship with her mentor hugely improved her communication skills and interaction with other children. She also became more positive in her attitudes towards school work and her newfound confidence improved her home life.
