“My main takeaway was the positive energy that I saw from clients throughout and... positive feedback that I heard... inspirational, united, hopeful, confident, happy, and eradicating feelings of loneliness.”

“It makes a real difference to my clients’ motivation and hopes of recovery. I think it's a beautiful experience that affects me positively as a professional, an affected other, and as a kin to my community. This provides me empowerment on the tough days as a professional, it reminds me that my efforts are larger than myself, we are not alone, and that what we do matters.”
