As many of you know, I am a teacher to men and women who have been arrested for domestic violence. I teach 2 mens groups and 1 womens group a week to teach people where their violence is learned and how to stop the cycle through accountability and communication. Most of the men are in there for 52 weeks, so I get to know them very well in their time with me. This past Friday, one of my guys was on his last day of the program. His partner (who was also the victim) came in after class and handed me a letter to thank me for everything that has been done over the last year.
I erased all identifying information to protect those involved, but I really just wanted to post this letter. It really meant a lot to me, and helps to renew my faith in the kind of work that I do.
I know it is small, so just click the picture to see it in a readable size.

Great job!
Wow, what a great letter.
If you have time for a consult, I have some questions for you as a teacher. Keeping things private, I have a friend, yes, just a friend not me, LOL, who I fear will be in a path of domestic violence soon.
Any tips for an outsider who wants to help, but isn't sure how?
that is so awesome!! Seems like you've really found your "nitch"
