That Yasmine Lee speaks, smiles and carries herself like any 13-year old is a testament to her resilience. The Climbing Out program combines group activities and outdoor adventure to help survivors get past their injuries and trauma. "One young young girl turned up, had a panic attack and shut herself in the toilet, and couldn't look anyone in the eye," said Wood. Once she leaves in December, Wood will be dedicating each lonely day on the water to a young survivor of trauma — including Yasmine. And she's singing in the Manchester Survivors Choir.
