Our impact on the community
We average around 125+ clients seen each year with comments such as: "I really needed SALT to help me get at the demons I've had most of my life from a little girl, to enable me to move on and have a happy and fulfilling life" and "I have a new outlook on life and have the confidence and tools to start to live for me, not just exist in life. It took 50 years to know it was NOT my fault, and I know that from this moment on, no one will use me or abuse me again". There are many similar comments.
