“Working under Nil Buckley changed the way I approach DV treatment. Her CARE Method gave me practical, evidence-based tools that helped my clients break harmful patterns and make lasting change.

“Before beginning the program, I just wanted to get through it as fast as I could. However, it didn’t take long to realize how wrong I was and how the program offered so much more than I ever thought possible. Through my time & experience with the CARE Method, I not only learned how to have healthy relationships & break toxic behaviors in relationships, I also had so much time to look within. I learned about myself and gained peace of mind—which I never thought was possible. I found closure with trauma that I didn’t know I could overcome and found my way to a healthier self. Because of this process, I became the best version of myself and have no doubt that anyone else that uses the curriculum will find the same peace I’ve gained.”
