Shannai Pearce knows what it feels like to think there is nothing left for you in life.
When she tried to kill herself at the age of 14, she felt totally alone. She was being abused, but social workers told her she was just "attention-seeking" when she asked for help.
"I was at breaking point, there was nobody to help me," she said.
You might think as tragic an event as a child's suicide attempt would trigger a vast network into action to make sure that child was protected, safe.
