SKILLS

Endurance | Inspirational Speaking | Healing Journeys | Empowerment | Transformation | Resilience | Courageous Leadership | Overcoming Adversity | Advocacy | Empathy From the age of 6, Damien was left with no choice but to seek refuge in rock caves, under jetties and skate parks to hide from the abusing monsters that were chipping away at his soul. He was helpless. The police and neighborhood offered no assistance, leaving Damien with ongoing trauma and a warped view of what childhood should be. Years into Adulthood, his life continued to suffer. The pain and flashbacks caused him to self-destruct. After seeing through many psychologists who could offer no real solutions, Damien took matters into his own hands to find his peace and face his inner demons.
