Client’s Testimonials

“The Strongest Families program is an absolute hidden gem. As a mom and someone who is also diagnosed with anxiety, this program has been a learning process for both my son and myself. It was a journey that we took on together with an open mind, love, and support from each other and our Coach. It allowed me to have a new and improved approach to helping my child deal with his anxiety. I’ve learned the goal is not to eliminate anxiety but to help him manage it and help him face his fears. Most importantly it gave me a whole new perspective on life and how my actions and praises can make a world of difference. Our Coach was uplifting. She motivated us and helped guide us at the most delicate time of our lives. She taught us both so much. My son is at a place where he is able to walk away with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to face any obstacle. From the bottom of my heart thank you. I will continue to help my child navigate and to be the best role model I can be.”

    SFI is located in Nova Scotia, Mi’kma’ki territory, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people.

    This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship,” which did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but established the rules of an ongoing relationship between nations. We are all Treaty people.

    We also acknowledge that people of African descent have been in Nova Scotia for over 400 years, and we honour and offer gratitude to those ancestors of African descent who came before us to this land.
