“All I know is there is something ‘magical’ about those animals. How they sense our feelings and react as such. Not only are they beautiful and intelligent. They are insightful and gentle. It worked for me! Again, thank you so much.”
"Thank you for a six week learning experience that I will treasure the rest of my life. I had been skeptical about the potential benefits of such a program but it has made a phenomenal impact on my recovery.”
"This was a totally awesome learning experience that I will carry on through my life. Thank you so much.”
“Your program made tackling some not so easy topics doable! Now we share a common language from which to communicate more successfully.”
“I used to make choices without thinking of how they impacted others around me…I’ve learned to slow down, look around and think!”
Here is what a few of the kids in the EMID program had to say about their experience:
The most important thing I learned through this program is:
“Life can be super fun or scary. Just as long as you know what to do when they happen is up to you.”
“To be open-minded.When before I was also hesitant to talk about myself.”
“How to trust and connect with others and that new are not always a bad thing.”
"That you can.”
"It’s ok to be yourself”
“Trusting others and having fun”
“Is to stand up for myself and to trust people”
“Is that I can make new friends easy and that there are different types of people.”
Additional Comments:
“I would like to thank EMID for funding this amazing program.It’s taught others and myself a lot of wonderful things.I would love to have the opportunity to come back.”
