“Since working at Alana House, I have attended a number of groups which have helped me learn new skills in coping with my personal life struggles and situations.”
“It is hard to describe the amount of support [my support worker] has given me over the past year. I had a deep mistrust of professionals when first engaging with Alana House and it is to [her] credit that she is one of the few professionals that I trust.”
“Without the support from Alana House and support from [my support worker], I know that I probably would not be here right now and I certainly wouldn’t have my daughter with me.”
