I was so impressed with how well my staff listened to you—even those who aren’t usually receptive. I had many, many, many staff who spoke to me about your presentation and how they want you to come back and do another workshop. I thought you were dynamic—it’s great to hear someone of passion!

--Michele Foley, Training Branch Manager, Frankfurt, Kentucky

We all found your training very informative and helpful. We have since identified 3 suicidal youth prior to them doing self-harm. I also did not feel like a fool when a report came back from a psychiatrist and I understood what it said. Thank you! 

--Retta Kelley, Toledo, Iowa

Dr. Lisa, you are EXTREMELY unique in terms of the training you offer. In the years I have worked in the juvenile justice system, I have never had anyone provide training that addressed issues relating to youth with mental health problems to the extent you did. Thanks for putting this together and being a resource in order for us to be more effective and make a difference. YOU-GO-GIRL!!

--D. Williams, Lane Co., Oregon

I have attended two of your presentations, one on “suicide” and the most recent on “effective behavior management.” The are without doubt the most educational ones I have ever attended. Our entire staff wish to express their enjoyment and say thanks for the educational experience which will help them in the future. Thanks from ALL of us!!!!

I just wanted to let you know you gave a wonderful training workshop in Nashville this week. I have worked with youth for over 8 years and this was probably the best training I have ever had (definitely the most interesting and entertaining). You are a great speaker—and funny too. I was expecting to be bored to death and it was a wonderful and pleasant surprise. Keep up the great work!

--Tricia Sisson, Nashville, TN

Dr. Lisa has an entertaining and informative style of presentation. She really knows and understands the mind of teenagers. She is able to teach concrete interventions that are best suited for at-risk adolescents.

The day flew by with Dr. Lisa. I gained further clarity and understanding of the growing population of students with mental health conditions, along with trends in treatment and medication we’re addressing with our students in public schools today.  We have been passing on Dr. Lisa’s information to other districts.
