Testimonials

I’ve been around for a while and this is the best training I've been to, bar none. I wish I had access to this stuff earlier in my career.

- Peace Officer Wellness, Empathy & Resilience (POWER) Training participant

Council helped me develop a sense of trust and has helped me empathize and gain insight into my childhood. It put me in a place where I could be vulnerable inside a place you're not supposed to be. I'm forever thankful for it. It's truly helped me on my path.

- Prison Council Initiative participant

It has helped me a great deal to be able to process my feelings and know that I am not alone. It has helped me understand that it is okay to feel the way I feel and has also helped me ease my anxiety. I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to participate.

- Organization Wellness Project participant
