“DCJ Caseworker feedback “When I speak with the mum, she is always reflective of your sessions with her and able to talk through her thoughts and how to apply this to parenting her son. I cannot put into words how grateful I am to The Canopy and your work – it is literally life changing”.
“ Learnt some new play. Very enjoyable’.
“Very succinct!"
“My journey has been tough, but with the support of my case worker from The Canopy I have felt supported and empowered. She has helped me learn new skills that benefit not only myself but my children as well. No words could express how grateful I am for The Canopy. They have provided me with all types of assistance which has helped me in many ways. My children love the workers as they all are very warm, gentle hearted and unique. This makes my journey a lot easier, especially knowing I have The Canopy around me"
