“Thank you for the assistance with funding for a program that is core to my mental health practice. The REAL Program was easy to apply for, had really good supports. I am very grateful for a program like this. The information I have gained from my courses can be used directly with my clients and I hope that this will have an impact on my community as it's had a good impact on my skills and overall knowledge base.” - Carrie, Grande Prairie, Social Worker
