I can be the best version of myself regardless of my past, my life isn't over because of the trauma I suffered. and I saw that there is a light at the end of the tunnel from the second I walked into group• 99 66 These sessions have been an absolute lifeline for me. They have offered a safe, supportive space where I could talk openly, and I would really be listened to and have my feelings validated. 99 66 The sessions have helped me enormously. I will miss the time on the sessions. but I have learnt a lot about myself and how to be kinder to myself and I felt heard and listened to and supported. 99 Page 10 Early Intervention & Preventions Services Feedback from clients k&k Feedback From Children & Young People Group Sessions To talk about what made us feel safe and unsafe. I now feel confident to understand how to identify healthy & unhealthy behaviours. Presentation was fun but informative. Everyone shared their own opinion and understanding what's going on. Lots of information about feeling safe and the capacity to consent. The lessons were useful to help me understand. Leaming about human rights and healthy relationships. Gave me a better understanding of consent. Page 11 Early Intervention & Preventions Services Feedback from clients Feedback From Children & Young People 1.1 Sessions Playing and listening to music. I liked talking about my day, how I feel and being able to talk about stuff that has upset me in the past. Talking whilst playing with sand made it easier. Getting things off your chest. Having someone to talk to about things. It was useful to talk about the key messages I wrote down as well as knowing myself more. My worker understood what I was on about. It felt happy and safe. All of it, it was quite fun. Easy to talk to with my worker. Page 12 Early Intervention & Preventions Services Feedback from clients kk&k Feedback From Schools 66 The sessions were incredibly valuable to everyone in the class.
