Testimonials
Jessica Shaffer
School Social Worker
Lower Brule Schools
"The response from the teachers always makes it worth it. More
often than not, a teacher or para-professional will say, 'Wow, I
never thought of talking to the kids that way.' The At-Risk for High
School Educators gate-keeper training is such a great tool for
helping improve the quality of the culture at our school."
Robert E Bryant

Penobscot Nation
Trauma-Informed Policing with Tribal Youth
"I like the fact that it's interactive and it forces the person involved
in this to actually think and move through a series of question. I
think the same as if you are out on the street interacting with a youth.
I like that a lot better than just reading something or answering a
multiple type choice of questionnaire. I like the way that you interact
with it."
