Testimonials

  • PTLA Parent

    [I learned] at the Mental Health First Aid training, there are people with different types of depression, and we must give them time to speak and take time to listen.

  • PTLA Parent

    My experience in this organization was very good. I have been learning many new things which I am trying to do. I love being in these classes and talk about the topics we choose. I also like the English classes and I am learning a lot.

  • PTLA Parent

    My experience has been super good, we have learned and participated in many topics that have taught us a lot. All the topics have been interesting and the people in the group are talented, creative, and cool.

  • PTLA Parents, Westwood

    During PTLA, we met a lot of parents, shared our stories with each other, and visited NWACC to learn about how our kids can go to college.
