What people are saying.

  • "Thanks for the different strategies that were presented at the workshop. I find them helpful to use at my site. The role-play and other articles that were discussed will definitely promote critical thinking. Also, you touched on other subjects that are important to our student population."

  • "You were such an enthusiastic, informative facilitator. It was great how we were able to role play real life situations and interact as a group and learn from each other. I think we learned about ourselves a bit more. We only wish we could have had a longer workshop with you."
