APDS Testimonials: What People Are Saying?
It's definitely a good thing when you hear about other people’s situations and all the things that they teach... It calms you down if you actually use the coping skills. I haven't had any anger or outbursts. I can actually say I've changed since I've been in this class.
Shakur Edmonds – Attended both the Drug & Alcohol and Domestic Violence programs, and has achieved one year of sobriety.
Learned a lot! My counselor was great and knowledgeable with tons of information.
Morris Greer
I am doing anger management classes here on account of an incident with my wife. The classes are going well as the staff is highly professional and knows the subjects well.
Francis Gbalazeh
I just felt like I broke the covenant with God when I put my hands on my wife. I not only hurt her, but I hurt my kids... For a long time, I didn't know that I had anger issues and a controlling issue. I'm glad (APDS) was there when I was looking...
Felton Davis – Enrolled in the domestic violence program at APDS.
