Client Experiences
I went into First Step just wanting to get it over with, but I was pleasantly surprised about how much better it made me feel.
Like most of us here, I didn't want to have to attend these groups. I was pleased to discover that I have enjoyed the topics that we discussed, mainly because Tiffany always ties things back to day to day living.
