Happy Families are saying…
“Our hearts have new energy and effort.”
“I felt I was going to have to accept being hurt and stuck in my predicament. I do not have support from my family or my son’s father. Going to the retreat helped center me so I can see my son as a person who is troubled and hurting instead of a malicious person. I have tools to help my son and I to heal.”
“This was a healing weekend for our hearts and souls, we enjoyed the experience so much that we felt more deeply connected with the people than our own church family of eight years. It was very deep.”
“It brought us together in a positive way and eliminated the underlying tension that was always around in our family. During the camp fire songs, I was sitting there with the kids and for the first time in a long time I realized that I wasn’t stressed or tense, hoping they wouldn’t act out. I felt like I was in control and knew what needed to be done if they did act out and try and sabotage the situation.”
“For my husband, the focus on refreshing the parents was very important. The hands on practice, and seeing how techniques are applied make it possible for we parents to move on as a team going in the same direction. I do not think any other format (book, CD, DVD) would have been effective to get my husband and I on the same page. We have hope for life beyond perpetual exhaustion and frustration.”
“It was an incredible experience! At first we were a bit skeptical going in, but after the first evening we were convinced that the weekend would be very powerful for our family and it was!! My husband and I left feeling empowered and in control of the kids behavior. The amount of support that was available at the camp was overwhelming, in a wonderful way and allowed me the time to deal with some much needed emotions that had been locked away for a long time.”
“We had a lot of fun as a family, as parents we got a break, learned a lot, and got some hands on experience to help our kids.”
