Testimonials

Very interesting for me as a non-mental health professional. It covered a lot of subjects and very relevant to mediation. It created new insights and material for thought. Jared is an amazing trainer and knows how to hold interest. My absolute favorite part of the training was Triena's presentation and her handouts are very clear and useful!

Jared was excellent and created an atmosphere of collaborative learning, where the students in the class felt free to make comments or ask questions.

The content was incredible and very relevant. The topics were really interesting. The amount and type of role play were also very useful.

I like that key issues were presented and continued. I appreciated the modeling that Jared presented and his non-judgemental stance. Thank you.

(I really enjoyed) the speaker’s engagement and knowledge, guidance between course content and reference material for further self-study.

Jared is an excellent lecturer; clear, well paced, knowledgeable, kind, open to questions, patient.

Amazing and interesting information – very helpful for mediation and I want more of all of it. Jared gives excellent explanation and has so much experience and knowledge to share.

The knowledge and dynamics about the family and the roles that all members play. Allows you to get your mindset in the right direction of the family relations.
