Client Recommendation Letters
" It was obvious and apparent that you had done some background work prior to the presentation to gain CTE knowledge!"
"They created an atmosphere of respect and openness that allowed our counselors to gain new perspectives on how to reach out to our students of color and their families in a productive way."
"The training provided greatly increased awareness and some realistic strategies for change."
"Their personal stories were interesting and added depth and validity."
"The speakers knew the situation in Kitsap County and had relevant suggestions."
"The training went beyond my expectations. As a new counselor, it was refreshing to hear these issues being brought up."
"Your work will help all of our students gain a greater understanding, sensitivity and sense of empathy for the issues of cultural diversity that confront our society."
"Next year my plan is to include a very definite cultural aspect to each project/lesson. Thank you!."
"Overall, I learned a large amount from the class and I leel that each day was packed with new information and activities. I would like to thank you both for this training. It has been an eye opening experience and I definitely plan on taking what I have learned back to my school."
"I have taken classes before that give overwhelming amounts of information to the point that my brain shuts down and cannot take any more information in. While this class was challenging and overwhelming... it was in a way that made me look at the world around me differently. I felt as though I was constantly processing what I learned and was applying it to my life. When I would go out to lunch, or was on breaks, I was thinking and viewing people in an entirely different way. I was able to strip away any previous prejudices I held against people for so many years, and wonder what their "story" was."
