This programme has been excellent for my son, he his much more relaxed and happy at home and he is not sad and uptight anymore. This is a wonderful way for children to express and let their feelings out and I definitely recommend this class if your child is struggling with grief. Even teachers have noticed the change in my sons behaviour. I am so thankful OCEANS could help my son - Parent

Counselling gave me the tools to help myself, and move from feeling pretty low to being able to face each day with more optimism. Until I started counselling, I didnt realise how much stress I was under and how this affected my three young children. Life can be chaotic and demanding, but I realised that spending a little time for myself has helped me and my family tremendously. I now live with hope for a brighter future, and my children are happier too"

I was in a very difficult place in my life, but counselling helped me more than I could have imagined. My counsellor really understood me, and helped me to deal with my problems in a more constructive way. Counselling helped me to focus on getting my life back on track, and for that I am really grateful"

We'd like thank Choose Kids, for the Stationery Drive recently organised on campus for local Dunedin Schools. We were so impressed with the terrific response from students who donated 979 stationery items, such as pens, pencils, folders, paper and printers. The stationery collected has been distributed to eight Dunedin Schools, including the six schools Anglican Family Care works with though the Social Workers in Schools Programme.
