Feedback from Teachers
“Hope House has been working with our BHS students on the topic of healthy relationships for many years. We are very fortunate to have this local resource come into our Health classrooms and do fun and interactive lessons that students really enjoy. The feedback that we get from students is always positive and that the information and skills learned is useful to them.”
– Baraboo High School Health Teacher
“The information presented is invaluable for our 7th grade and 8th grade students. I am excited for the potential of the now 7th graders being able to reconvene with you as 8th graders, as there seems to be a level of focus that rises when we bring you in for presentations, whether in person or virtual. Students seem to take the bullying and relationship advice to heart, and it becomes more than just a school lesson.”

“[The Hope House presenter] has been a spectacular addition to our teen center on her visits and I know all the teens loved having her here as an additional person to talk to about the issues they unfortunately see at school and home every day. Through the regular visits, [the Hope House presenter] was able to become a trusted adult that the teens could talk to, and with our teens that is not always the easiest thing to do. The Club truly values its partnership with Hope House through the past few years. The presentations always seem to come at just the perfect time for at least one teen in the room on every visit. And while some of the video presentations can be a little too real for some of them at times, [the Hope House presenter] always lent a human aspect that comforted them and helped them through it all. Overall, the partnership with Hope House has been invaluable for our Club and our teens and we are very happy to keep it going.”
