What humans are saying about SaferSteps

Kellene has opened my mind and provided insight into raising my 3 daughters to consider protective behaviours and consent, and how this needs to show up in my parenting. She was kind and caring in her guidance with my whole family. Kellene has guided me through my own ‘coming out’ process and provided a space where I felt valued and supported to be the most authentic version of myself. Kellene assisted me in recognising my own symptoms of trauma through my childhood and how that manifests in the way of relating to my own children. Kellene also helped me identify and embrace my neurodivergence with support and kindness. I would absolutely recommend Kellene for advocacy, meeting people where they are at, and helping me to recognise the most authentic me is worthy and valuable.
