The only thing I can say is that I wish something like this had existed when I went to school some 12 years ago. I think it would have made a world of difference towards what I had to endure. I was picked on my whole life for one reason or another, not ...

“I was surprised an emotional day could be so much fun!!”

I enjoyed the experience. This is the first time I attend to a workshop of this nature, and with my daughter! Thank you, Jack. It was a lot of valuable information to absorb in one day. I hope to remember them all or the most important: listening to my daughter.

Your interactive workshop was well received by both classes and there was a certain buzz for a few days. Our students learned some valuable lessons about respect and feelings; a few have found the courage to speak to their teachers again! Overall, our students enjoyed mingling with your young DB leaders who did ...

Crying was such a huge relief – I have kept things inside for so long. I’ll remember this day for the rest of my life!!

Dear Jack, Thank you for coming to help us throughout this workshop. This improved my communication skills a lot. Come back to Bosco next year to help the next ones doing this activity. There’s really nothing to improve on since the workshops were successful. (original message)
