Testimonials

“Critical training for today’s parents! This program provided me with a clear framework for recognizing mental illness and knowing when to take action. As a result, I feel more confident navigating these conversations with my teens.”

Parent of a 9th Grader, June 2021

“I found the training excellent. It helped me as a spouse, parent and coach get a better understanding of differentiating stress, anxiety and mental disorder. The section on coping and treatment was illuminating.”
