“Since I've been back...I feel more confident, intentional and was able to provide real assistance as they move toward their emotional growth goals. I am more aware of teachable moments as they appear, more aware and sensitive to 'where they are' in their emotional growth path. The CFR knowledge has given me a boost in confidence and awareness...I can provide more help in a shorter amount of time and have a more positive impact as a lay-counselor in our wilderness setting. I'm also grateful for the practical facilitations I brought back from the training and am using them effectively. "
