I am amazed this program is being offered and at no cost. This is the most valuable information I have received. Meeting with Gina and talking about my child is invaluable. She gave me real tips to deal with very difficult situations in my family. She also proved to be an incredible listener to my concerns and anxieties. Gina is much more than an educator of information. She is a support system that I don’t believe exist anywhere else for me and my family. She is easy to talk to and gives excellent guidance for me to immediately implement techniques that work. — ESPA Parent
