Personally, I felt the presentation was wonderful. I thought you approached it so gently and gave the parents ample opportunity to make this a personal experience with their child not a “presentation” or “class”.
I had several families offer compliments on how much better the experience was for them than in previous year(s) with their other children. I actually had a parent... tell me that the difference in your approach to the material was remarkable.

I was dreading attending with my son because my husband couldn’t come. It was during your presentation that I realized I had never spoken to my son about any of these topics. I felt ashamed that I had been so delinquent but realized from something you said that I was just uncomfortable myself from unresolved issues of my own that I just couldn’t speak to him.
If it wasn’t for your presentation I probably would have never spoken to my son about these topics and he would have never known that he could talk to me about anything and history may have repeated itself.

During my time with Regina my outlook on life was completely transformed. The growth I've made as a person while coming here is more than I could have ever asked for and I'm honestly proud of myself for that.
After the past few months I have acquired the tools and the strength to take what every day throws at me... I've learned a lot about who I am and what I need... and I can honestly say that I needed Regina's help to get here. Thank you 🙂

Thank you so much for your help these past 6 months with my daughter. Her ability to communicate what she's feeling in a meaningful, functional way has drastically improved. As a result of these new communication tools, she has a lot more confidence in reaching out for help when she's feeling anxious, confused or simply needs additional explanation to aid in her understanding... I can report progress in her improved self-awareness which has also improved her ability to interact with the adults in her life and make better choices in terms of the people with whom she chooses to spend time among her peers.
You are good at what you do Regina!!!! I have very much appreciated your patient, methodical approach to rooting out the source of my daughter's problems, keeping the focus on solutions and, when appropriate, praising her for the "little wins" along the way. I also appreciate all the extra time you spent with me on the phone to seek extra understanding from my perspective while giving me progress reports without breaking confidentiality with respect to your conversations with my daughter.
