  •  "Be The Peace - Be the Hope has provided means for creative, nonthreatening healing to our young adults. Verbal techniques (with interpreters, so no one is excluded), artistic expressions, problem solving through storytelling and gentle consistent validation are BPBH's well thought out supports. The students who have attended have shown interest and respect for each other, as they realize they are part of a wonderful collaboration that empowers emotional support for all participants" - Eileen McGowan, Liberty High School


  • "I am impressed with the way our new students are doing in my class. They are expressive of how they feel and show respect to their peers. Even if they speak in broken English, the little confidence they have before, exceeds my expectation in the past three weeks. What are you all doing in your program that made a difference with these children?" - Karista Williams, SGA Math Department Chair
