JCH Webinar Attendee
Overview of Mental Illnesses & Disorders

"I appreciated how Amy repeatedly stressed approaching a potential situation with 'compassion & patience.' Her presentation felt very much like "boots on the ground, mucking through the trenches" rather than a dry recitation of facts, an attitude of domination & extreme control, or even pure theoretical approach. It felt like she'd actually worked with people struggling in the situation--rather then someone who'd only read about struggles in books & regurgitated paper theories. "

"The presenter was wonderful, very knowledgeable about the topic and it was well presented. The presentation captured my attention the whole time. Great job!"

JCH Webinar Attendee

"The way Amy explained the majority of mental illnesses in a very concise but detailed fashion. These are topics I've heard about for years but never could explain or understand until now."
