TESTIMONIALS
“I really felt heard and I had not expressed all the layers of what happened and I liked the way the panelist opened questions in a non judgmental fashion. I had wanted to share my story because there were so many layers to unpack and I really appreciated the feelings I had when it was over. I think the program and the conference space is such an asset to the community and I’m thankful for the program. I hope it grows and gets more employees on the team because it does feel restorative”
“I like that the panelists made me feel like this is a welcoming safe space to not be judged, but to see where we could repair the incident and prevent it from happening again and all from a very human approach which felt nice. Thank you guys for everything you do, I can't thank you guys enough for seeing the good in people”
“The feedback and questions from the panel expanded my perspective and I had to think in ways I had not entirely explored previously. Specifically the responses from the members created an opportunity to think about the impact on different members and gave me a more open heart”
