“The role playing and watching Jan and Monica model how they would word questions or comments really helped. Also, the videos were well-chosen and very instructive. This was also very healing to me and I am deeply grateful for the caring listening and framing my concern to nudge me to my next step in addressing conflict.” Debra Lacey, Behavior Interventionist (5/18)

“Amazing training…I gained both personal and business perspectives…used all 5 learning techniques that helped me to take in all the information.” Margaret Aranda, Juvenile Assessor (5/18)
