“This retreat has not only showed me how to connect all the dots between what I want to do and how to do it, it has also provided me with smaller details of everyday things I can act on to increase my chances at success.”

“It was an environment that was safe and non-judgmental. Several of my questions I had previously have been answered. With kids your age going through the same exact thing you are, it was reassuring to know that you are not alone in your uncertainly. I am very grateful for a program like this.”
