TESTIMONIALS

  • “​​Every time I went to one of those Mental Health Check-Ins, I've always come out feeling better. I felt seen, affirmed, validated. No matter how I showed up, I left with something. And that's the beautiful part of GetSomeJoy and the Mental Health Check-Ins.”

    Charm Baxter, GSJ Peer Support Group Facilitator

    Mental Health Check-In Attendee

  • “Wish I had this griefKit when my dad died, but then again, I'm still grieving 4 years later so thank you for this. So much good stuff in here. I will share it and use it during my lowest days.”

  • “The workshop created space and gave us resources for us to explore traumatic, challenging things we wouldn't have discussed otherwise. AND think about how to support each other with care. Our whole team was thankful to have support from GetSomeJoy.”
