I just wanted to drop you an email to say how much my daughter enjoyed being at Appeer this week. To think where we were 2 years ago to where we are now, the change is unbelievable. Back then, it was easy to dwell on negative thoughts about her future but finding Appeer has helped her so much. It has helped her to understand herself better amongst girls and women who are just like her.   

She has started her new specialist school and I sincerely believe that going to Appeer has helped her manage to go to school every day this week. She uses the tools she has learnt at Appeer to self-regulate and advocate for herself. This all enables her to be back in a school environment and hopefully thrive. 

The me 2 years ago would never have pictured this. Thank you so much.

"Thanks for a great... session, my daughter really enjoyed it. Her comments were: "This is my sort of girls club."

"Thank you so much for yesterday. My daughter had the most wonderful time. She was quite nervous beforehand, but the icebreaker session in January had definitely helped alleviate her anxiety. I asked my daughter this morning if she had any feedback and she said: "It was brilliant!". She really enjoyed the smaller workgroup and I think that also helped her feel settled. ....The fact that my daughter felt comfortable being left is a huge gauge of the safe feeling you created for the girls and she has already said that in March I can "just" leave her with you...! She loved meeting xxxx and took her box everywhere with her yesterday afternoon."

Girls' Group

"My daughter is out of school and barely leaves her bedroom, this session gave her the opportunity to make new friends and get out of the house.  She said to me "Mummy I didn't realise how lonely I was......I got Js phone number!" She was so pleased with herself. Thank you for giving her this opportunity"

Teen' Session at Henley Fort

"Thank you for organising this fantastic series of speakers and a massive thank you to them for coming along and talking to us.... the session was extraordinarily useful and the advice she provided invaluable. She has cut through the complexity of what I was looking at and provided me with the guidance and direction that I need to focus on what is best for x and how to achieve it in as quick as time as possible.....Thank you again for what you are doing."

Parent/Carers Zoom Expert Talks

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for today and all the hard work you and the others have put into setting up and running these sessions it really is much appreciated I can already see the benefit for both my daughter and myself. She actually realised today that she is not the only person who feels like she does and said in the car on the way home "Mummy there are other people who feel like I do, I thought I was the only one." I have to say I felt the same

when I left today."

Girls' Group

"My daughter really enjoyed the session last Sunday, she's been taking her sensory toy to school since Monday!....Thanks again for a beautifully supported group on Sunday, it was a lovely way to spend the morning and My daughter is really looking forward to next month's session"

"Thank you once again - we both had a great time and I am super grateful that my daughter has had this opportunity."

"I thought you all created a very welcoming atmosphere and was very impressed with the detailed information given before the session - it couldn't have been better. I look forward to meeting the other parents when My daughter's anxiety decreases. I feel grateful to be part of this". 

"I know I will forget when the time comes for feedback forms so just wanted to say today at the end the session. My daughter said "This is the PERFECT girls' group!"
