Hear From Our Grads

“The clear communication about how the weeks would be broken down by topic, clear assignments and expectations, balanced nicely with the laid-back and relaxed feeling of the classroom settings. The buddy sessions provided a way to keep the feeling of connection going throughout the week. I appreciated how bigger picture issues like social justice and systemic issues affect how people grieve and interact.” Fiona Ruddy, Art Therapist

“I have gone through a complete transformational change. I am not the same person before starting this program. I’m thinking I could have spent thousands of dollars with a professional therapist and still not achieve what I have personally and professionally achieved from this course. It was well worth the money I paid, in fact, I think it was “cheap” for what I gained.” Rob Halfyard, Social Worker & Founder of Resourceful Futures
