“This whole experience has helped me.”
“I thought this program helped me to find myself and my true feelings for me and the people around me.”

What Parents are saying about DYSS
“This service was just what my son needed. It was almost a saving grace.”
“Very pleased with DYSS! My son enjoyed his time there and has been pleasant to deal with at home.”
“My daughter is doing a lot better now. I feel that being in the program helped her. The communication between the 2 of us is better than before.”
“My son’s self-confidence has improved and he controls his temper better, his dad has noticed a change in him too.”
“Your program is excellent, should be more accessible to kids before they go to court.”
“I am thrilled with your program. I couldn’t believe the difference in my son’s behaviour/attitude since he started going there. It has been a life saver for me and my family. Everyone should be aware of the good work you do there!”
“Great program, love the fact there was consistent contact between your staff and me, I always knew what was going on. Too bad all kids can’t go there, so many could use your program.”
