Feedback: School teacher feedback to POWER practitioner “I would like to pass on how impressed I am with the work she has and is planning to do, she appears to have made a connection with mum and young person already.  Without the knowledge and support she has provided to us we would have been unaware of the situation regarding home life and the concerns she has.” July 2019 A parent to a POWER practitioner “Thank you for your email, all the information and the effort you are going to, to help us. It's so nice to finally feel like we are getting some support from someone that genuinely cares.” May 2019 A young person to a POWER practitioner “It’s a place to understand where you have gone wrong and make sure you improve so you do not repeat the same mistakes, very helpal” (sic)May 2019
