Laura and Carolyn, I truly struggle to find the words to express my deep gratitude for the opportunity to participate in the nature program! The transformation in my daughter has been nothing short of incredible. At the beginning of the first week, I was filled with nerves and anxiety about what to expect, but you both created such a welcoming environment that made it easy for me to open up. The other parents were wonderfully honest and open, and looked forward to each week. There were times when I arrived feeling overwhelmed and tearful, yet I always left feeling like a new person. Your support has lifted a weight off my shoulders. Trudy has gone from being destructive, angry, unsettled, and struggling with bullying at school to truly flourishing, and I can only say this has come from going to the program and Laura and Carolyn! It had been over two years since Trudy had received any recognition at school, but now she’s received two certificates in just two weeks! That’s a huge accomplishment for Trudy! I underestimated the extent to which this program would make a difference, but the impact has been crystal clear! Our home life is much happier now, and I couldn't be more grateful. Of course, we still face challenging days ahead, but I feel more confident that navigating these tough times will be easier moving forward. I hope Laura and Carolyn realise just how special they are! Your positive influence has touched not just me and Trudy, but my entire family. You both truly are a credit to YPAS!
