Testimonials

No matter what the problem is I feel like the skills I learned in group have given me a better way to deal with it
I’m in my third year of university and I joined group because it’s very stressful. This group has helped me manage my stress
I feel like everyone can walk away with one skill and say this is how I can use this tomorrow or next week for my next challenging emotional experience
I now live life with purpose
Every time a session finishes, I feel like I belong somewhere
I’m not used to talking about my emotions so openly, but I think that is a part of what I’ve taken from group. I feel more respected and respectful
Embrace it, run into it. Closed arms, open arms, it’s your call and the best thing to do is do it. As much as it can be intimidating, it’s worth it
This group has given me validation and a place to belong. It’s taught me that it ok to be different
