Celebrating 33 Years of Changed Lives!

My support staff does a good job. He helps me grocery shop and he has been teaching me how to cook. He helps show me how to pick greens off of the beach so that I could give them to grandma and other elders. He is teaching me to fish and jig with my friends so that I can do it all on my own. He is helping me to stay out of trouble. He is teaching me how to hunt so that grandma, me, and dad have deer meat in our freezer. I also want to say he helps me to not get really angry, to just talk to people and tell them my feelings.

There have been many times as a single mom I have felt so alone. The ELP staff have always been a great comfort to me during those times. They share different information to help me through the rough spots and to remind me that I'm not alone. They offer advice, solutions and goals that are so helpful. My daughter and I both look forward to their visits so that we can show her what new things have been accomplished since the last visit.

My son’s counselor is very sensitive and insightful and has made such a strong connection with him. She has helped him see things about himself that he needed and made him face his own imaginings in a way that made him a more whole and deeper person. She has been kind to my son and to me in the truest sense of the word.
