What children and parents say about FIT
“I still have lots of questions but I heard many opinions and have thought of new ways of approaching things” (a parent).
“The group was what I expected/hoped for. I really appreciated how each session built upon the next one. I feel myself and my family truly benefited from this” (a parent).
"I needed to get stuff out. I didn't need anyone to say anything back. It didn't make a change in the surroundings, but it made a change inside. Group helped." (11 year old girl).
“I am now thinking about being more flexible with regard to my children’s behaviour. I learned they need me as their father and they need to know they are loved” (a parent).
“I learned not to worry about the little things and to emphasize bigger things such as security, communication and openness” (a parent).
“Finding people in the same boat as me and learning how to cop [sic] with my feelings. How to let people know about my feelings and expressing myself to others….I am more open to letting grudges go and creating a relationship with my dad”. (10 year old).
“I learned that crying = bravery” (9 year old).
