Stories of Impact
Students from local schools share what our work has meant to them
It really made me not to just think about my relationships, but about my life. It made me want better for my life.
I liked learning about marriage in this program. I thought it was just a piece of paper or a label, but I
learned it’s much more than that.
This program was very helpful! The part how sex can affect you emotionally and physically definitely explains why it made leaving my ex so much harder.
For the longest time, I didn’t know what I wanted in a person, and I was stuck. You helped me
understand what I need in a person and what I need to work on in myself.
I really liked this program because it made me think deeper into relationships than before. I think this class should be taught to everyone at some point and required.
Personally, I remember having you back in my freshman year. During this time I was in an extremely unhealthy relationship. He used all of the grooming tactics. After this program those years ago I got out of my relationship. This program saved and changed my life dramatically. Thank you!
When we talked about sex, it was an eye-opener. Something happened to me over the
summer with a guy, and I had done it but didn’t want to. I told him to stop, and the next
day he never talked to me. He made me feel horrible, but I know now it wasn’t my fault.
I realized what I thought was normal, was the exact opposite. I realized I got taken
advantage of. I am glad I was able to hear all of this and get help.
I really liked this program because it made me think deeper into relationships than before. I think this class should be taught to everyone at some point and required.
It helped me realize that I can’t keep letting people walk over me. I was in an abusive
relationship for 1.5 years, and they justified it by saying they loved me. This showed me that it
was not okay.
This has taught me it is okay to vent to people. I’ve always been afraid. I broke down in tears
after people who I thought were my friends harassed me over a stupid picture, and they laughed
while I cried, so I’ve kept to myself. This program has helped me talk to people again.
I found this presentation very interesting and beneficial for students at our age. It helped me realize a lot about myself and the relationships that I have with other people.
I had an ex boyfriend who I noticed was grooming me and I didn’t notice until this program
taught me this. Please know you should never feel drained like I did in a relationship.
Talking to people is something I struggle with. Also expressing myself, when I get into an argument I
usually get super mad easily and talking it out is not in the picture. This course was the best thing for
me, it changed the way I carry myself. I feel much more confident not speaking with anger and hate but
now I want to hear what the other person has to say.
