Past Performance
Excellent training and trainer- it was beautiful to see the community service providers come together for a common cause and rapidly create connections.
This turned out to be a life changing training. Out of all the trainings I’ve been at in the past 25 years, this is one of two that I feel changed me as a therapist and as a person. Thank you
I am very grateful for this opportunity and want to thank Lawrence County, Scaling Up, and all who had a hand in this training. It was well put together and so beneficial. I’ve learned so much and look forward to utilizing EMDR with my clients.
It was phenomenal to see nearly 50 clinicians come together, support one another’s learning and growth and cheer one another on to be the best we can be to serve our communities. Thank you for the training opportunity.
A big thank you to all who worked tirelessly to bring this training to everyone. The knowledge, support, warmth, humor, and kindness of everyone made this such an unforgettable experience. My own practice has been changed significantly by being a part of this. This is a huge win for Lawrence County!
This training was excellent! I felt completely held and supported by Liz, Kelly and Sarai.

This training was incredible. The education related to C-PTSD and Dissociation was very helpful and detailed. I appreciated the discussion regarding the feedback you had received at the beginning of the training and seeking out suggestions on how to improve. I have no suggestions on improvement, as this was a very incredible experience.
This was a wonderful experience and I’m grateful for all the knowledge I was able to get from this training. Everything felt wonderful. I have no critical feedback to provide.
