I personally have nothing but positive feedback for my worker. I found she helped me a lot to understand my own social boundaries and those of others. She helped me to develop a verbal filter as well as understand social cues. I feel that she has truly helped me to understand what to say and when to say it.
New Path Youth and Family Services Youth
This service has helped me grow into the person I am today. I have learned how to turn my weaknesses into strengths and how to build on my strengths. I have learned skills on how to deal with situations. My worker is truly – he has helped me to deal/understand situations that have arisen with my family. This service is great. Thank you.
New Path Youth and Family Services Teen
I loved the way my counsellor always listened to me and then allowed/helped me find a solution to my problems myself with help like assisting me to find the answer for myself rather than telling me what to do.
New Path Youth and Family Services Teen
I think every teen that has problems in their life or are struggling should come to new path because it gives them someone to talk to that will understand and help them with the problems they are going through. I don’t think New Path should ever leave the schools because I do think it makes a difference in teens’ lives.
New Path Youth and Family Services Teen
The sessions were always positive and constructive. My worker really connected with my son and I think that he really internalized her feedback on coping and recognizing his feelings. I also was given wonderful tools for helping my son during difficult emotional times.
New Path Youth and Family Services Parent
New Path has essentially saved my daughter’s life. I can’t be any more direct than that. By finally having the support of a therapist, who allowed her to talk about the traumatic events that have led her here, to the support of the staff at the house when things get rough, to a Program Manager who has showed her time and time again that he will not discharge her from the program until she is truly ready to lead a healthy life at home, my daughter has been able to not only stabilize but to flourish.
New Path Youth and Family Services Parent
The New Path worker created an inclusive atmosphere where we could share and express ourselves. I am proud of the growth our family has experienced with this support. Keep up the amazing work with our community! You have made such a difference in my/our life/lives.
