This is one of the very few workshops where I felt I was being talked to instead of talked at. Stephen and Tammy are 2 of the best facilitators I have ever experienced. They were very open and communicative, explained and helped me explore the very delicate matter of suicide intervention and how to go about helping our clients as well as family and friends.

Steve is a very professional facilitator.  He provided our staff excellent information with relevant scenarios related to the educational setting.  We really appreciated his willingness and availability to provide this training.  Thanks!
