— Single mother
I have grown so much as a person and mom because of NELP. I understand a lot more about myself and how my parents affected me. I have learned how to forgive and resolve issues so I can move on with my life. I am a better mom because I can deal with my emotions and my kids better, too.
- Parent
Before I joined NELP, I was new in Mission and had no friends. Now I can talk to other moms in my support group and Kate. I have learned to have power over my emotions. I am not perfect, but I know how to change and be a better person and mom. I know that I can make mistakes, but I learned to forgive myself and keep trying. Kate taught me how to work with teachers to get help for my son who has alot of issues.

“Beatriz is a wonderful cutie, and the knowledge about the parts of the brain, and how they work, were the highlights of the workshop. I was also interested on delayed gratification and how the neocortex only finished forming around the 20s, that explains a lot. Congratulations on this wonderful job you are doing for professionals and parents around the whole world. Understanding how emotions work makes it much easier to know how to react with others and with ourselves. Thank you!”
