TESTIMONIALS
“It (Caribou) is a god-send. I am so glad they are here. They cannot consider not funding this program. It's a must that these services remain available. They are phenomenal. It feels like a whole team behind you.”
From a Parent
“I'm so glad they're here ... it's a must that these services remain available. They are phenomenal. It feels like a whole team is behind you, even when you just met these people... they have a fine team.”
From a Parent
“The kids loved her (RCMP officer). She was very helpful and friendly and explained things clearly.” In fact, for one of the children the parent explained that the child felt better after talking with the RCMP: “she felt confident and it helped her get over the guilt [of telling] ... she felt better because she felt she had done the right thing.”
From a Parent
"I was worried about the process and the impact it would have on the kids. But they made a difficult situation into a positive . . . I have such a tremendous amount of respect for this place. I’m so glad it’s in the community. It was eye-opening to go through the process. It’s just a tremendous service.”
From a Parent
“We were thrilled about how we were treated - snacks, drinks, unlimited toys and the play rooms. All different rooms so you could go to different rooms on different days.”
From a Parent
“(The counsellor) was great - awesome. She was someone I could open up to, a shoulder to cry on... she understands and was easy to talk to.”
From a Youth
"It helps the way it’s decorated. I don’t want to be walking into a dark place . . . This is definitely better than going to the RCMP. The RCMP was nice when I told her the story. She helped me feel comfortable."
From a Youth
“It felt good because I could tell things I needed to talk about. . . I liked that when I came in, when I didn’t feel capable of telling someone, they helped me feel capable of talking.”
From a Youth
“I love coming to this place because I love playing with the toys. I got a stuffie. And we needed help with [what happened].”
