"Hommes & Gars has really helped me through a hard time in my life. I was encouraged to see more clearly in my personal and conjugal situations. At each of my meetings with Joel, I felt welcomed as I am; in my personal shortcomings as in my skills. It was not easy. Far from it. Neither was it comfortable. At times it has been very confronting for me. It brought back many things to me that I had buried voluntarily. With support, listening and proposed means that I found adapted to my needs as a man I believe I made the right decision: that is, to trust! I believe the meetings I had with Joel made a difference in my life, day after day. I will never forget the metaphors and analogies he made based on simple things happening in my life."
