“Dunlea Centre saved our family! We were hitting dead ends everywhere and had nowhere else to turn. We were told about the program and have been so happy with how it turned out. It got to a stage where our child was not listening to us or anybody. He needed someone else to guide him and he listened to the staff at Dunlea Centre and now he is on the right path. We used to not be able to talk to each other and now he asks us to sit down and talk and he wants to have dinner with the family. It’s the best thing that has ever happened to him. I would recommend it to anybody.”
