"Your Program has changed our lives and
I would recommend it to anyone with similar issues."
--- Ashley's Parents

"I had attempted many different weight loss programs, but none worked until HELP.  Being with a group showed I wasn't alone and it taught me how to deal with everyday situations from parties to school lunches.”
--- Sophie B-W

Sophie before and after

"I found it extremely helpful to listen to the participants in the program because it made it painfully obvious that some things never change.  They were going through some of the same things I went through when I was in middle school and high school.  It was great to know these students had an outlet where they could come and discuss problems they were facing.”
----  Stacey B-W
