Page 9 - Leap Evaluation Report 2018

One narrative from the consultation said:
“Without Leap I believe our lives as a family would be so stressful that I wouldn’t want to say where we would be. Working with Leap gave us all hope and without hope we really had nothing...Leap literally saved our lives, but especially my daughters. We all have a future...”
Another parent reflected:
“I didn’t know we could dream until we met Leap. Their dedication to us has gone beyond anything I have experienced. They empower, though don’t take over, just sit with us until we feel strong enough to get back out there. I can tell you, we never knew we could be this strong, but we know that we know what’s best for our son. Leap gave us the confidence to be the best we could be for our son”
