Client Feedback
In the fall of 2018, the Community Clinic conducted a client feedback blitz, asking everyone attending appointments complete a feedback questionnaire about their experience at the Centre. Youth, parents and caregivers felt strongly that plans included clear goals that were important to them.
“I came to The George Hull Centre last year looking for help, which is what I’ve been receiving. I’m truly grateful for the warm and welcoming feel I get not only from my therapist, but also from the other workers here, and the overall feel of the Centre. I can’t even begin to imagine what I would have done or where I’d be if I didn’t seek help… I’m beyond happy with the care I’ve received here.”
