Firstly when I came to Canada 3 years ago I started to volunteer in Reachout Committe with Angela, and she did not only give me the hours for graduation, but also she give me the opportunity to know more about the community. Also, I had the chance to know Canada more and I got involved in more than an activity and that gave me a lot of experience in my resume. So, I want to thank Angela very much for her help and support. -

I originally got Angela's number from a friend, immediatly I called her and she invited me into her office. Luckily I live so close to the Reachout Committee that I went there just to meet her. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with a smile and a hello.
Reachout Committee changed my life, if it was not for Angela and the Reachout Committee I would not be in the wonderful place that I am in now. Thank you Angela and the Reachout Committee for all the advice and support and I wish the best of luck for this organization in the future.
Yours Truly,
Kadeem Baird-Griellmore

At Reachout, I have learned and experienced so may new things! I have learned how it is to actually work, how hard it can be, how fun it can be, you get to meet new people, you get to try new things, and I meet some new people as well! It was a great experience! Before, I used to go because I wanted hours but after 1 visit, I started looking forward to going to Reachout! It was great! I got to help many people out that needed donations and I also got to be part of many events! I loved it there and I can't wait to go back next year to volunteer!

Hi ma'am,
Good morning ,
Therapy has been a very unique and personal process for me.
I felt incredibly free,liberated, wonderful and euphoric.
It lead me to personal growth,new insights, also improved my behaviour, relationships and my outlook on life. I feel so much better and happier in my own skin with every passing day.
This counselling and the pieces of advice did wonders to my mind and to my body.
I've restarted to see things in me I wouldn't otherwise ever notice.I feel so blessed and I've filled my life with so much acceptance and love right now.
Thank you so much for everything.

Last several months while I was alone, working on myself and trying to clear my mind. At the time I was mostly ignoring everything that was going on and just focussing on my work trying to move forward. Once I started reachout I realized there was no moving forward without facing any consequences for my actions and I needed peace within myself. This program has helped me with a lot of things, firstly I was able to refelct on and discuss my feelings. It helped me grow as a person, become a better positive version of myself. I was able to learn new breathing techniques to help cope with my anger, I was able to learn simple things like just walking away to cool myself down, I never even thought that would work. I was also able to analyze the situation where I was arrested and charged, reflect on it and make the changes I need to make in order to avoid the situation again. I quit drinking so I know I would be fully contorl of my mind and my actions. Overall in conclusion Reachout has taught me on making better decisions for myself, for my family and for my future. I hope I’m able to show people the best version of myself daily.

This program has taught me the benefits of being able to communicate and talk things through with someone. The open and honest dialogue has allowed me to develop strategies on how to manage my personal feelings, thoughts and concerns. I feel empowered because I feel as though this program has inspired more feelings of change, as well as provides new insights about my life presently, and for the future. It has allowed me to accept and engage in self-accountability for my actions in the past. It also allows me to address and accept the consequences of my actions so that I can learn to move forward with my life in a healthier manner.

This program showed me I can change. I had just needed to slow down and think things through. I am going to keep working on myself and actually talk to people about my problems instead of walking. “I learned that no matter the issue, there is no reason to get all worked up about it. It’s great. I think now before acting and just take a breath. I
don’t feel as anxious because my thoughts are way different. I’m going to continue to change my habits and let the stress go.” I will continuously work on myself and make sure my wife and kids feel safe . “I am now aware of
negative self-talk and the ‘root issue’ that actually made me feel the way I did. This program has let me know where I am at and that I am now on the right track (which is reassuring) I had just needed direction and knowledge on ways
to get better. I now try to let go of things I have no control over and how to relax to give myself a break. It taught me things that I didn’t realize were a problem. The more I learned the easier it became to be open to change. In short, anger management taught me how to identify my anger and respond in healthier ways. How to positively communicate with your partner.

I feel like I was definitely vulnerable and at a place of weakness after finding out I had lost someone close to me.
I feel I have nothing but remorse / regret knowing I've lost control and felt emotions I wasn't aware were embedded in me.
I let down my family and my partner. I thought I had more control over my emotions, I don't ever want to be known as or looked at as someone who would put there loved ones at risk, or anyone for that matter no matter what state of mind I may be in.
I feel this scenario could have easily been avoided, I could have taken time to speak to someone. Gotten help. Also easily removed myself from a situation where I find myself getting to a place where it's hard to think clearly.
I feel this situation was out of character, I learned a lot about myself and would like another chance.
I apologize to OW, my family and her family.
That incident isn't a reflection of the man I am, but more a bad circumstance I can reference to whenever I maybe feeling heavy emotions or triggered.

I have learnt that life will throw many challenges at you and you will
have to control your emotions and manage it correctly. Life will not be
perfect so being able to manage your emotions is a huge component to a
happy life. I have learnt that treating my wife with respect and that
being able to have a happy life are major components to life. I have
learnt that recognizing triggers and avoiding them is a better way than
just allowing them to take control of myself. I am in a situation that
allows myself to grow and challenge myself to become a better person. I
am very thankful to God for everything.

I’ve come a long way. This program has been my turning point. It equipped me with skills and insights that changed my life. Now, I am a better version of myself. I am more responsible and law abiding. It’s been a journey of self-discovery and growth. I owe it to the program and support I received. I'm grateful for this chance to rebuild my life and make contributions to society. I've learned from my mistakes and strive to be a positive voice in my community. Every day I am committed to being the best version of myself and leaving my past behind. This program has given me hope and a second chance at life.

My testimonial would be that I’ve taken a few things from these sessions I was having that I actually applied to my everyday life such as controlling my breathing when I feel myself getting heated or about to explode that has helped tremendously. Another one would be just thinking before I act and also considering the consequences of any action before making said action. I also learned about being positive and how to be more self aware then I was before I started the sessions. The rest was good to learn and understand but nothing everything I learned needed to be applied to my life so I took the lessons that were most beneficial to me and I ran with them and ultimately they have helped me and also found their way into my daily life. I appreciate Paulette and Angela for taking the time to help me understand certain things and also opening my mind up to understand other things I’ve learned so this whole experience was good to me and I do appreciate it honestly. Im glad this is over and my case is coming to an end in 2 years ill completely have my freedom back and that’s the day I’m looking forward to.
