"The students were amazing. They were positive, helpful, cheerful, super, provided many suggestions.鈥�
鈥淎ll the staff were very appreciated of the work being done by the students and the recommendations proposed. It was a real pleasure to have the students around for this assessment.鈥�
鈥嬧�淚t is hard to change our habits but with the stretching poster, and with each other for support, we are able to do it, and we feel the difference! We are so grateful for the experience, and I think the students were able to experience a different type of work environment too.鈥濃��
鈥淚t made me aware of things that I can easily change to feel better. Things that were obvious but that I did not notice anymore because of habits鈥︹��
