What families say about working with Grace

"There are people who walk in this world who exude warmth and understanding, whose natural character is one of kindness and altruism. Grace is one of those people. She is the person you want in your corner when you're going through your darkest days and she has many resources at her disposal that she can tap into to help in many distressing familial situations. She knows her stuff and you will be forever thankful she's in your life and/or your loved one's life. "

"There isn’t enough space here to begin to explain how much Grace helped my husband and I during a very stressful time in our lives. We were out of state when we received a horrific call from our youngest daughter with horrifying news. We scheduled a call with Grace and she took as much time that was necessary to help us. She is full sensibility, wisdom and she is a true gift to mankind. She is one of my favorite people and a friend for life. She helped me through a difficult time and brought clarity to my life when everything felt dark. I cannot thank her enough. "

"Grace is an amazing person! I’m so grateful to work alongside Grace who is not only an exceptional co-worker but also a true friend. Her steady positive attitude, open and honest personality, reliability, and willingness to help others make every project and meeting better. She consistently brings out the best in the people around her, communicates with kindness and respect, and handles challenges with professionalism. Beyond her strong work ethic, Grace is genuinely thoughtful and supportive. I’ve seen firsthand how much she cares about people and how readily she offers encouragement when it is needed. Anyone would be fortunate to have someone with her integrity, talent, and generosity in their life."

"I have known Grace Kerby for over a year and find her to be a very caring, compassionate and supportive person. She has been straightforward and encouraging with strength and truth. She has always been there when we needed her, no matter what the situation was. I highly recommend her and know that she will provide assistance and support for you along whatever your journey might be. "

"Grace Kerby has helped my husband and I so much. We have an alcoholic son and she has given us the tools we needed to put our family back together. I highly recommend her if you are struggling. She is smart, patient, very open minded and most importantly non judgmental. We were feeling very alone and lost in our son’s addiction she has brought us back to life. "

"I have met so many people in the fight for fentanyl since my son passed away nearly 6 years ago. This is both an addiction issue and poisoning issue. After meeting Grace, she has been an inspiration to help those in addiction and those with family members in addiction. She is a key factor in both saving lives and helping those, being the other victims, the family members. God bless you Grace and keep up with coaching and facilitating families at PAL. I look forward to working with you again and many more times."

"It is a pleasure to recommend Grace Kerby. I have known Grace for over three years now and have had the opportunity to work with her in an organization who supports parents, spouses and family members of loved ones who struggle with substance use disorder. She has provided support to literally hundreds of individuals/families. She meets people where they are without judgement, she listens with openness and provides thoughtful and compassionate support that aligns with families' needs and their readiness for change. I have learned from Grace what it truly means to support another person through change. She has even helped me through some of my own personal journeys. She fully understands the term "human connection" and how impactful it is. I am grateful to know her and recommend her without hesitation."

"Grace is a great leader who takes care of everyone she comes in contact with. Her easy-going approach to facilitation helps bring levity to the very serious world of addiction. She knows everyone's names, asks genuine questions about their children, and listens intently. My husband and I are so grateful to know Grace and be on the receiving end of her advice and knowledge!"

"Grace is an amazing coach! She helped me through one of the roughest times in my life. She brings her own experiences into the discussion and can really relate to the problems we face. She creates a safe, supportive environment where you feel comfortable talking freely. I highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a coach who is compassionate and committed to helping others find peace and joy in their most challenging times."

"Grace has been a faithful leader, communicator and encourager for PAL families for years. She can be trusted with your story. She is a blessing to many, including our family."

"I have never been in a setting where people arrive scared and often shattered, and inevitably leave lighter — with clearer insight, actionable tools, and hope. Grace has a way of listening and caring that transforms not just our lives, but the lives of our loved ones. My husband has gained clarity and hope, and I received the wisdom and a safe space to heal that literally saved me during a heart-breaking loss."

"As the leader of the PAL group I attend, Grace has been incredibly impactful. No matter where you are in your journey, she meets you right where you are. In her own humble way, she draws from her personal experience as she leads, showing empathy and encouragement and offering wise nuggets that bring clarity. I joined her group hopeless and discouraged over a year ago; today I feel more hopeful, with a healthier perspective on life. I give my wholehearted endorsement of Grace."

"Grace has been an incredible facilitator in my PAL meetings over the past two years, and I've learned so much through her guidance, compassion, and leadership. She personally encouraged and inspired me to step into a facilitator role myself — which speaks to the impact she has on those around her."

"Grace is an excellent facilitator who thoughtfully plans her lessons around the group's needs. Her greatest strength is her genuine passion for helping others. She listens carefully, understands what is needed, and truly cares. She is truly special."

"For those who get the opportunity to work with Grace, your life will be forever changed. She has unbelievable compassion for helping others. You will leave with many resources and tools to navigate this difficult season — and feel heard and seen by someone who has walked the exact same dark path, with assurance that you do not walk it alone."

"The first time I walked into the PAL group, Grace warmly welcomed me. I didn't feel out of place at all. She is insightful, warm, and caring — never too busy for anyone who needs advice or just needs to talk, no matter the issue. Grace makes you genuinely feel like family."
