We had one session in person and unfortunately had a family emergency for us last in person meeting but are going to catch up with Mel over a zoom call
in a few weeks.
Liv I.
We thought it was great. The school offering a program like this is just awesome. Definitely benefited from the sessions with Mel.
Steve K.
I feel the sessions were informative not only for us as parents but also for my child in particular, Mel was lovely and really helped ease concerns
regarding Anxiety and started to understand it, she does have a few things to work on and take away but overall I really feel that it’s helping to strengthen
her confidence in certain situations.
