Thank you so much for your time and kindness yesterday, you have provided us with support and a direction forward.

Thank you for all your listening, I was so relieved after speaking to you that I wasn’t alone. Thank you very much for your time and referral.

We had tried for ages to get support to help us with issues with our son. SHARC and FDGH is the only place we have actually been able to get help. All of the FDGH programs have been really useful and the best way for me to describe it is that we are both now feeling really strengthened.
