"Thank you for the learning experience! I'm hoping that I would not have to encounter such a situation in the near or far future, but if I do, I have the knowledge and the 'tools' you taught us during the workshop."
. . . Quinhagak, Alaska
"I have attended numerous classes and workshops on the issue of suicide. However, I still struggled with a sense of competencies regarding assessment and intervention.
Your two day workshop devoted to understanding and intervening with potentially suicidal
individuals offered concrete statistical data and hands-on techniques. Most importantly, I
developed a "comfort level" with multiple intervention strategies."
. . . Child and Family Therapist, Bremerton, WA.
"You have an ability to relate to both adults and kids on a level that allows for trust to
develop, insight to occur and learning to take place. Not everyone can achieve these things in the limited amount of contact time provided.
The MHA has also witnessed your work in a less structured environment - middle schools. You adapted and related well to the kids. In a more structured setting at the High School, the results were the same."
. . . Executive Director, Mental Health Assn., Hutchinson, Kansas
"Sometimes role playing can make people uncomfortable but the small groups and experienced coaching almost made it fun.
The skills we learned were simple, basic, powerful and instantly applicable in a variety of settings. I would rate this one of the best three trainings I've ever attended in the 30 plus years of my nursing career."
. . . Registered Nurse, Residential Treatment Center, Bremerton, WA.
"As a pediatric neuropsychologist who has worked in an acute care setting with emergency services, I can attest to the effectiveness of the leadership in this workshop. I suspect this model of suicide intervention can be readily internalized and used by many in a community, regardless of background and experience."
. . . Pediatric Neuropsychologist, Hutchinson, Kansas
"As a suicide survivor and a school district employee, I took the LifeTrain suicide intervention workshop in an attempt to learn tools to help desperate people.
You are truly dedicated professionals. The workshop was full of valuable information. Every organization, school, church, etc. should have trained personnel.
. . . Alternative School Secretary, Silverdale, WA.
"I attend a fair amount of trainings and usually do not feel impacted enough to write out a thank you letter.
You did not get in the way of the learning process as unfortunately some group facilitators tend to do inadvertently. It felt safe to share experiences.
As an experienced County Designated Mental Health Professional, it may be worthy to note that I came away feeling that I learned something."
. . . Crisis response Team Supervisor, Bremerton, WA.
