Visa Versa

Locked in, too frightened to feel safe outdoors,

Booted out, too frightened to feel safe indoors.

Ask any teenager who hides behind a screen, ask any nagging parent, ask a net curtain flipper and they will unknowingly shrug their shoulders as to the reasons why .

That's why Chat Cafe Local offers this back to normal programme. Step by step it's the visa vers opposite of what a homeless person has to do to achieve resettlement.
