Here's what our clients are saying

The ASK Team has delivered a number of courses at my school for both staff and students over the last 6 years. They have worked with both boys and girls in a variety of personal development sessions run at the school in either weekly blocks or on pastoral/development days. I have personally witnessed the impact that the ASK Team has had on the students wellbeing after participation in the ASK Schools program. They have equipped many students with the confidence to express themselves in a confident manner and discuss issues which have previously been ‘off limits’. I’m in awe of their ability to create a ‘safe place’ for the students to discuss a variety of issues in front of their own peers. Couldn’t speak more highly of the ASK Team”- John, Teacher, Ballina

To have a crew that are so willing to fit into our needs is amazing, and that's totally what sets ASK apart from any other Mental Health company we have dealt with. Thank you team, not only do you impact our students but you also impact us teachers.”- Tee, Teacher, N.Z.

I was instantly impressed by the ASK team’s enthusiasm and their genuine care for the students. So much time and energy has been invested into what I believe as a wellbeing coordinator an integral part of every students learning to be able to learn from those who have walked the walk and not just talk the talk.” - Andrea, Teacher/Wellbeing Co-ordinator, Lennox Head

All the team worked really hard and focused on engaging with the children. They were relatable and easy for the kids to talk to. The extra work they did in breaks to play and talk to the kids was really valuable for the connection building. Thank you.”- Matthew, Principal, Cromwell.NZ

When receiving a note from the school about the ASK program I didn't know what to expect but from the take home material and the response from my boys I’d have to say I’m very impressed. My boys lack role models and since the ASK program it’s like they embraced the learnings and have began developing in areas that was once off topic” - Sally, Parent, Ballina
