"Thanks
you guys for everything! My life is so much
better now. I can't believe the difference
in me!"
"I
like me, I like other people, I am not so
different and I am not alone."
"I
am a stronger person because of this work
that I do on myself and I need to do this
work because of the work that I do in this
life."
"Being
able to attend and participate in the residential
school series has made a big difference
in my life - dealing with negative emotions
such as anger, grief and pain gives me further
encouragement to keep on doing what I'm
doing - making myself healthy in all aspects
- spiritually, emotionally, mentally and
physically."
"I
am really proud that I was able to deal
with and share what I did this weekend.
I always wanted it but thought I wouldn't
get here - BUT I DID!"
"Changes
which are good have been taking place in
my life for the better, thanks to these
workshops/training sessions. And if more
of our people come, we would eventually
have a healthy nation."
"I
continue to look forward and to expect to
take part in these trainings for the good
of all Anishinabe people. My healing and
changes I have made do not go unnoticed
in the outside world. I very much appreciate
being able to participate."
"I
feel I can more fully participate in a work
environment in a good way. I feel strongly
that I can be a natural parent/authority
for my children and grandson. I have been
shown the tools to use in a good way and
I have an excellent beginning."
"I
really enjoyed this work. I'm finding my
personal life with myself, my partner and
my children is filling up with good things.
I can relate to my partner and my children
without getting angry or crying. I am getting
what I want for myself in a caring environment."
"I
feel very strongly that this program has
saved my life and that of my family. I see
now where destructive behaviour starts and
ends. I lost many family members because
of all the garbage they carried along with
their addictions to alcohol, drugs and negativeness.
Meegwetch to Mel & Shirley Chartrand for
helping me when I needed it."
"I
have realised that I must let go of my issues
to move on with my life in a safe and good
way. This session has given me a great deal
to get on with my life."
