Testimonials

“Listen, what you and your organization do is a tremendous service. There are so many non-profits in the area, but there really are only a few that make an actual difference in people’s lives and have a broad reach throughout the Valley. It’s hard being a kid these days, and HH’s continued presence and support for them is so enormously important.”

Ed Reed, Mad River Garden, November 2022

“I absolutely loved Cindy Pierce’s presentation. It has given me such a new perspective on parenting young teens. I have shared the benefits of this presentation with everyone. I can’t wait to see her again. I also have been loving the podcast she recommended “Ask Dr. Lisa”. It is great too! Thank you for bringing her to our community.”

I am here at Moretown School on this chilly morning and am feeling such gratitude for Hannah’s House and their ongoing support of mental health. At this very moment our school has three incredible offerings for staff and students happening within our walls-drumming with Trevor, massages with Sally and Brian and Bam Bam. All of these things are making a difference for our school community. We appreciate all that you do for our community.

“Cindy Pierce is an amazing person, speaker and resource on a subject that really needs to be brought more into the open: the many-layered effects of the digital world on the sexual development and experience of our young people. I am so grateful to Hannah’s House for bringing her to us! I was in the audience of Crossett Brook parents to whom she spoke before addressing 7th and 8th graders there. Her easy-going but no-nonsense manner, deep grasp of the subject matter, as well as amazing charismatic energy and sense of humor helped us all begin to cross the chasm of discomfort/awkwardness involved in having frank but necessary conversations with our tweens and teens. Thank you, Hannah’s House, for this important knowledge and tool in our parenting!!!”

For the last 2 years, my teenager has been unable to sleep without medicine to help her relax. She began neurofeedback with Nicole in the spring. By the fall, she was sleeping without the help of any medicine! This is a huge relief to both of us and I know her body is much better off without taking daily medication.

“The support Hannah’s House provided last calendar year to a couple of our students was amazing. We have received feedback that they thrived in the settings.”

School Counselor at Waitsfield Referring to our sponsoring a student to attend Sculpture School, January 2022

Please let your Board of Directors know that this opportunity is making a difference in the life of this student. Here is the correspondence from the parent and teacher after the first class last week:

“I just wanted to say thank you for this afternoon. He was so jazzed up for it all week. He had a great time. It was good to see him so engaged in something.”

“We had such a great time! This little guy is completely engaging and a super artist already. Very sweet personality! He finished early after doing a great job and sat and watched the kids for a bit. Big smile on his face!”

“…Finding quality therapists who have availability is absolutely getting more and more challenging as time goes by, and I do not know what we would do to fill the growing need if it were not for Hannah’s House.”

“Hannah’s House was an incredible resource to our students during a great time of suffering. Their dogs and counselors provided much needed relief and encouragement to struggling students.”

– Dan Morse, Harwood Union teacher

“…we would like to dedicate the donation we have given today, in memory of our son, Benjamin Stewart Virkstis, who struggled in vain with a mental illness. Thank you, and again, thank you for all your good work on behalf of those who rely upon those at Hannah’s House.”
