What parents have said about our support:
“Since working with Capa my relationship with my son has improved immeasurably. I was in despair before I began and counting the years till he left home, I felt like a total failure. Now, I am more mindful of when to walk away, what to do to improve things between us, and how to keep things moving forward. What Capa has given me apart from a listening ear is strategies and also most importantly hope.”
