“This is my favorite place! I look forward to coming all week and when Monday comes I know I can make it the rest of the week because of what I take away from the group. Sometimes it’s just that I feel normal.” -Brittany, 15
“It’s incredible! She’s been telling me things (even things I don’t like to hear about how I act, react, etc) that I know she wouldn’t have done had we not attended! I guess she felt empowered & then seeing the vulnerability of moms other than just me, thinking, acting & responding how they did made her realize that we moms are human too. We’ve been talking at night, she will come up & hug me more, she asked me to tell her a story (that went away months ago), etc. So it’s really been an eye-opener for me!” – Nina K. (mom)
“This place is the best. I wouldn’t have made through the year without it. When I am happy, they are happy with me. When I am sad, they are sad with me. I can talk about anything because I know that it is safe. I can be totally myself and know that I am not alone.” –Mariah, 13
“My daughter was ready to give up on school. Not only did she change her attitude about school, her grades came up. I honestly didn’t know if she was going to pass the year.” –Claire W. (mom)
