- School Administrator

My own daughter attempted suicide just about a month ago, and I wish badly I would have had this training before that. It would have completely changed how I handled things.

- Mother

Due to your presentation... a teacher was able to clearly identify the signs in a student and we were able to get [them] help.

- School Administrator

I know if I hadn't attended your talk, I would not have been able to deal with my student as well.

- Teacher
