The hope that I have for my clients is for them to be able to build relationships where they live, whereby they don’t have to live in fear, and to feel like they have a sense of control over their life

Bandile, LvA Drama Therapist

I think LvA is making a difference in our community… there are a lot of clients who let us know that they’ve been helped, they’ve been supported, they’ve been empowered by the team of LvA
