Program testimonials

One-on-one counselling

Client

“Our talks resulted in a weight being lifted… shifting my thinking to not take on my [care recipient’s] problems as my own.”

Facilitated group support

Client

“It was comforting because they understand. Others [outside the group] can’t relate or don’t want to talk about it, but it’s good to know you can talk to these ladies who want to talk about it.”
