PARENT TESTIMONIALS
“We felt that nobody would understand and
that we were the only “terrible”parents that had
this issue. HOPE helped us stabilize and allowed
us to slowly get back on track.”
"I felt I was making all the wrong decisions
about his behaviour and really had completely
exhausted all ideas of what to do next. When I
started to attend the meetings, I learned that I
was not alone with these issues. Immediately, I
started feeling better. The suggestions offered
by the small group sessions seemed to start
working, and I have to say that things
improved."
“Thanks to the support, suggestions and the plans
that derive from HOPE, we found a”RESET” button
for life with our daughter: we have turned around
our relationship with her, almost entirely and of
course, since life doesn’t come with a “SAVE”
button we keep on working to ensure that we
maintain, as best we can, the new found
understanding that we have built together.”
