I was so impressed with how well my staff listened to you—even those who aren’t usually receptive. I had many, many, many staff who spoke to me about your presentation and how they want you to come back and do another workshop. I thought you were dynamic—it’s great to hear someone of passion!        - Michele Foley, Training Branch Manager, Frankfurt, Kentucky
I've heard Dr. Lisa speak two times......Both times I found her to be very informative and entertaining. She presents the information in a user-friendly manner and holds your attention through the entire presentation. I would love to see her come back to speak with ALL of our teachers and administrators.         - Leslie Andrew, LCSW, School Social Worker, Lincoln, Nebraska
We all found your training very informative and helpful. We have since identified 3 suicidal youth prior to them doing self-harm. I also did not feel like a fool when a report came back from a psychiatrist and I understood what it said. Thank you!
