The most wonderful teachers opened their hearts when they opened Branches of Life. Thank you for giving the kids we love and adore a great place to go after high school!

Our daughter absolutely LOVES it! She wakes up in the morning anxious to get dressed and go to her Branches. The BOL staff is wonderful. You can tell they sincerely care about their clients and families and show this in a positive way!... Honestly, I could go on forever.

These people serve a part of our world that most people turn away from either from ignorance or fear and thank God they are there! The greatest thing is they give the best of themselves to the misunderstood and do it with zeal. I thank you for the important role you have taken in the life of my loved one.

Branches of Life has been a wonderful experience for my son and for me! The dedication of the Branches staff is truly exceptional.

I love Branches because I love my friends!

I hate to use the term "day support" when I talk about Branches of Life, because they are so unlike any other day support service that I have ever seen! Their individual attention and commitment to helping each of the people who use their services appreciate and develop their strengths is outstanding. They are a great organization with which to collaborate. They care about the people who they support developing healthy and mutually satisfying relationships, not just academic or job skills.

We were having trouble with our son's group home and a few problem behaviors, so we enlisted Branches of Life to help us. They put together a plan of action and a plan for the staff at the group home to follow and after several months, my son's behaviors improved drastically. We were very happy with Wendi and her company for the services they performed and would recommend them highly.

Branches is a fun place to be because you can do a lot of fun stuff and do a lot of learning. My favorite part is having friends that care about you.

Change is hard, but I have noticed the people you support are thriving. Branches is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! It takes caring staff like you guys to encourage success! Keep up the good work!

I know first-hand that they are the best of the best. You can have full confidence that your loved one will be in excellent hands there.

I am so inspired by the work that you guys do at BOL. Your “out of the box” thinking encourages me to ask “what if…?” for my guys every day and I thank you for stepping out and forging new paths. I cannot wait to see what the next years brings for your awesome team!

Branches is awesome. My favorite part is music and learning. Learning is hard but I feel happy.

I gladly and eagerly refer Branches to anyone interested. Everyone who spends any time around my daughter has noticed such a huge improvement in her communication skills and ability to handle stressful situations and we give Branches a lot of the credit for that. Her father and I feel it is just what she needed to compliment the program at school. We couldn't be happier as a family! All of you are wonderful and we are so grateful for all you do.

I am very pleased with the services offered by BOL. The care and love shown by everyone is amazing. My son would go seven days a week if he could. He especially LOVES the Branches bus and going out!
The Knowling Family

They are the greatest! I have known them for years. You can see the love they have for all their clients... They are special people taking care of my son. I can't thank them enough for what they do.

My first impression and ongoing experience with Wendi Strickland and staff has been one of dealing with very knowledgeable and professional people. I would recommend their services to anyone who needs assistance to help them and the ones around them be the best they can be!
