“As a therapist I have seen the Safe Harbors framework transform lives. As a mother with three children still at home I have absolutely seen Safe Harbors tools change OUR lives. I have a 17 year old and 14 year old who are dealing with social challenges, school challenges, divorce, family relationship challenges, loss, mental health issues of varying kinds. They have a lot that they are dealing with on a daily basis.
We have been at individual therapy for four years and nothing else that we have tried—nothing—has had the level of impact that we have seen from Safe Harbors. Therapy has been useful, and we will continue that, but the change that I have seen come over my children as they engage with these tools is unparalleled. We have Safe Harbors tools displayed on our back window where we gather for meals. Most of our conversations as a family center around the Safe Harbors concepts.
We have developed a daily practice of coming together at the breakfast table where each child states clearly their vision for that day, who they’re going to be in this world today. From there, each of us identify four action items, one in each component of whole self wellness that we will engage with that day towards the creation of that vision.
Come discover how implementing these tools can improve your life and the life of your clients.”
