“Thank you so much for the work you have done with *Dale* our son. We are so glad to see him having fun with friends again and worrying less about little things. We can’t get him away from his friends now, which makes us happy because he is happy. We really appreciate everything you’ve done.”

"When I first came to Streetwise, I was in a terrible state, I really had no hope for the future. I put myself in a position where I thought that I could not feel better or do things I wanted to do due to how badly I reacted to things. Ever since I spoke to Streetwise about my mental health, I felt as if I could find a way to improve. I felt more motivated to improve mentally. Over the past weeks, I have finally adapted new techniques which are giving me hope for the future, thanks to you. You have put my mental state back on track and now I feel much happier and better. Thanks so much."
