“Thank you for the opportunity to visit your center. You have really helped me a lot for an extra credit project in my Psychology class. I learned a lot from your tour and I now understand domestic violence way more than I did before. I found it very interesting how you set up a lot of different rooms and play toys for kids, especially how someone could simply observe them in how they play with dolls or puppets, and how it could show you what they are thinking in a more relaxed environment. I enjoyed this experience. I wish you good luck. I greatly appreciate your generosity.”
Jordan Dukart, David Douglas High School Class of 2008, Portland; December 2007

“We appreciate your assistance with organizing for us to come to your shelter and test the computerized decision aid for abused women making difficult decisions about safety. The women who participated from your shelter were integral to the success of our research and their feedback will be used to improve the decision aid tool. Your role in arranging the sessions and serving as a resource for the women was equally important to our project, for which we are thankful. We look forward to working with you in the future as we continue to improve the decision aid and test its effectiveness with women in abusive relationships.”

“I have a student who attended class when (...) you came in for the presentation. (...) The girl did not know of different forms of abuse until your presentation. (...) She said it was because of the information from class that she and her mom can now be safe and are going to counseling. (...) So thank you, thank you, thank you. You touched a life in a positive manner. Hopefully healing can begin and a cycle is broken.”
Sherry Logan, teacher, Forest Grove High School, Forest Grove; May 2006
