The John School has been chalking up some fairly remarkable stats with the individuals we have served in the classes.
On the buyers’ side, we have had several men who were also social influencers. The class impacted them so much that they said they would begin to advocate against commercial sex. One of them came up to Justin – the therapist who runs the buyers’ group therapy sessions – in tears, asking him how he could protect his 13 year old daughter. Several men have been in tears considering the impact of their actions on the women selling themselves. No shame! Just contrition over their choices and the damage done.
The buyers’ course feedback papers have been highly positive, thankful for the training, with high marks for the various sections. How cool is that!?!
