Student Testimonials

This Course, I will be honest, I dreaded it before I arrived because it was my first time, and I was a very quiet person. Now I love being open with people, I have become more involved with things like school, family, communication period. I love myself, I feel comfortable around people, I’ve learned to have relationships with people who have meaning, not to just let whoever in.   Terri-Lynn age 16

My favourite part of class is how open everyone is with each other and how you can actually see the changes in people every time.    Michelle 17

Thank you for every session it changed me. At home, treating people with respect. Being kind, not drinking because…I value my future and for sure respect others. I have better self-esteem for myself. I enjoyed coming to every session because the speakers are wonderful and it’s inspirational.   Ava age 15

I learned that I am worth Something and that I need better friends. I liked it here because I loved that I’m not the only one with the problems. I learned better things to do. I wish I could come back.     Jamie age 15
