Testimonials

I cannot express my gratitude enough for this program or my team. I was absolutely hopeless and broken. They changed that in me and changed my family unit. They are so good at their jobs. They have changed my life. “Job” or not, they saw me before I even saw myself. That can’t be taught. That is THEM, who they are.

I am very grateful that I was respected. Being called my preferred name and pronouns made my time in Prariecare much more bearable
