Reported benefits

What users say...

Users tell us that GOGL provides mood, education, rescue and coping benefits:

“There's no, there's no undertone in there where it's like you doing this course means that you're a weak person, whether you're male, female, or however you identify. "

​

“Get out Get Love, it's a journey. And it's, it's one that can be taken together, and that no one is really on their own in it.”

​

"I am no longer lost in existence alone and afraid. Get Out Get Love is providing me the terra firma from the storm that engulfs me. No longer chained and anchored, I am navigating through clearer, calmer waters with new knowledge and understanding.  Thank you for changing my life!"

​

"I plan to return again and again to the programme to complete it fully and to return to which ever part I need, whenever I need to."

​

"GOGL is a wonderful, powerful journey of discovery, the discovery of myself and the true life that I am meant to live; the life that is mine. Finding freedom, finding peace, finding happiness, finding acceptance, forgiving and loving myself.
