What Our Clients Say

"I am a lot happier because I'm not angry all the time and I know how to control it."

"Don't be scared to do the programme - it can really help you"

"I have learned to talk about things to help understand any anger issues"

"Enabling youth programme isn't like what you see on American TV shows where you lie down, and say what's on your mind and all that.
  Instead it’s a whole lot different, where you get treated as a person  as it's not like an interview."

"I found Enabling Youth to be very welcoming and helped me become a better person"

"It's scary at first but it actually really helps. I feel much better and safer with my anger now"

"It's really friendly and welcoming. I loved every minute there. Give it a try, what's there to lose?"
