“I can sleep now; I can finally breathe…I’ve learnt to breathe in the classes, and you know I think it’s because I got a job. I finally sleep all night. I haven’t been able to sleep through a whole night since the accident.”

"Uplifting! Caroline sets the tone for each session, she is always so positive nice to be around… rubs off on everyone… even if we have a difficult situation or in a negative mood, she can put a positive spin on it…. Good at bringing people out of a negative mindset.”

"You get self-worth, self-confidence, and see yourself in a different light. You realise you are not alone and it's okay to feel the way you feel. It becomes the highlight of your week...It would benefit anyone who is struggling in life. It feels like a family.”

"These sessions are a break, a time-out from reality. I know that for an hour I might laugh or not but I am listening to other people and not thinking about my situation. It gives me a break and I look forward to it. The other day I couldn’t go but I was able to hook it up on the car as I wanted to be involved. The format allows me to do that and I was glad I could.”

"Life-changing! I used to be in a really dark place. The group has given me hope. People listen. I don’t feel alone anymore. I realised that there are other people on a similar journey. I used to feel isolated. I used to be really active and suddenly I wasn’t able to be. Injuries aren’t always visible. When we get together, we don’t feel worthless. You feel listened to. You feel important.”

“The team is my shining light, they are amazing...I wonder and will always wonder (I tell my case manager all the time) how can people I don’t know do so much for me?”
