"Carrie Wilson’s facilitation skills brought a transformative experience to Club Café. Her gentle, engaging approach allowed youth to feel safe and curious as they explored self-awareness and emotional wellness. Her impact was undeniable - participants connected deeply with the material, empowered to use these insights and tools long after the workshop ended."
