Words of Support

"One of the CHILD, Inc. classes was required of me, so at first I was hesitant to come. I questioned how much value I was really going to get, but the amount of information I have received from this class has been astounding! This class gave me so many tools. I feel more confident in my abilities & I have really seen a change in my children using some of the techniques I learned.”

"Please note that because of my CHILD, Inc. Advocate being on my side I can finally be free from this domestic violence cycle. This was one of the hardest times of my life. I felt broken and alone. If you program did not exist I would not have survived much for being by my side. If I can ever pay it forward, please reach out. You are appreciated."

"I just want to thank CHILD, Inc. course, RHY so much. They have absolutely been a huge blessing to my daughter’s life and mine. Since being involved my daughter has made huge strides and I must also include myself. Leah was awesome. She gave us both the tools we needed for communicating and life. We can actually talk now and enjoy each other’s conversations. My daughter has goals now. She is enrolled in a College High School. She comes in on time and is more focused. She is staying out of trouble and on track. She made a new set of friends. We tried programs in the past but failed. But our time with RHY really paid off. I would recommend it to everyone.”

“I would recommend the CHILD, Inc. courses to all young adults, also the 13-20 year olds who might be babysitters! This type of course should be mandatory before graduating high school. I feel strongly about this program for all young people to be exposed to this type of material & training”

"The class at CHILD, Inc. helped me in so many ways. I have two teenagers who are out of control in their own way. This class taught me how to better communicate with my children. All the topics were helpful to me. I wish the class was longer so I could learn more information to helpful us through more situations that come up. I would recommend this class to everyone & strongly let them know this class will help them A LOT! I really appreciate this class."

"The CHILD, Inc. class helped me grow and become more understanding & patient. It may sound crazy, but since I started your class I feel my relationship with my daughter & her mother as well, has already begun to improve. I am extremely grateful for this & greatly appreciate you coming into prison to help parents like me.”

"The CHILD, Inc. course was extremely informative & the atmosphere pleasing. I am amazed at the knowledge I acquired & put to good use. Listening to other parents going through the same thing as myself was both enlightening and inspiring. This class should be given to the general public.”

"My experience with the RHY program was very helpful. My counselor Leah gave me an environment to express my feelings out in the open and freely share what I’ve been through. She was open minded to what I said but still gave options for me to help with the situation I was facing. I greatly appreciate all the help and support I got from the RHY program and would recommend it to anyone.”
