“I have learnt so many different things, new things which I didn’t know. Before when I was stressed I used to cry, since attending the Strengthening Families Strengthening Communities programme I have learnt ways to manage my stress levels.”

“I started attending the About Boys Course, and met many parents in the same situation as me, it felt good to learn it was not only me feeling the way I did. I started using the session techniques and things started to change for me and my son.”

“I was expecting the sessions to be more like a lecture, I was pleasantly surprised they were not. Really appreciated the openness of the group and parents sharing their experiences, it was nice to hear other peoples points of view.”
