You may have heard of Courage Quest and thought, “It sounds great, but I’m not sure that this is the right program for me.” Here is what some of our graduates had to say.
I was only invited to come to this Friday and had no idea what we were going to be doing. I am a Community Advocate, working downtown and here in . . . with DV victims, almost all women. I do most of the 911 DV call-backs for . . . County and a lot of safety planning. I can promise you that what you and the others have taught me today will help hundreds of women – maybe even save a life. Thank you.
I was scared, but also found that I have a strength to draw on. I didn’t know it was there, having never been in a situation to test it. Just Thursday after escorting a DV victim to Protection Order Court, a batterer came looking for me in the building, trying to find out my name. It occurred to me that I could end up a victim too, if I wasn’t careful.
I learned some skills today that I hope to never use, but I will if I must. And I will pass on the new found sense of empowerment to as many as I can. Thank you, God bless you all.

Thank you ‘to’ all the caring people who put together the recent personal safety course. It was challenging, invigorating, touching and well-designed. I would recommend this course without reservation to anyone, and I expect my daughter to take it before the end of the year. It should be a mandatory course for all high school students so that they can gain the confidence needed to avoid violence and become the kind of peaceful warriors in such short supply in this world.
Thank you for facilitating this remarkable experience. –

You’ve given me the best gift of all – the ability to see my own strength. I’m not going to be paranoid anymore. Thank you so much.

Thank you for the greatest life course ever!

I’ve been afraid to be alone so long I don’t remember what it feels like to feel safe. Now, with your help, I know I have the strength to protect myself. This was the hardest and best thing I have ever done for myself. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to know my own strength – I’ll never forget it!
