"I have had the time and energy investment of the Elevate supervisor, who came to us with advice and explained things to us when we had questions. We also had each other as we talked about the experience, giving us important lessons and enhancing our self-awareness."

"My coaches began to reveal more of their problems to me and began to trust me as time went on. The relationship was a wonderful experience as I got to see first-hand some of the struggles and problems of other people and do away with my own self narrative as I paid clear attention to the other person."

"The benefits which I have experienced from the coaching process not only helped me during the sessions but also will help me on my future placements. The new daily challenges and goals increased my productivity. I became confident and my communications skills got enhanced. As a psychology student the benefits will help me in my professional/work life."
