What people are saying:

"I wasn’t sure if my son’s behavior was typically for a teenager adjusting to high school or a cause for concern. This class helped me to start the conversation and get him services. There is no shame in reaching out for a little extra help." 

”This class helped me understand what my daughter is experiencing. I learned what questions to ask and how to advocate for her. I thought we were the only family dealing with these issues and it was helpful to connect with other families."
