  7. Ashley – VAN WERT CITY (verified owner) –

    There is a LOT of information here and it’s pretty mentally heavy. It’s good stuff, but can be overwhelming. The strategies included are very helpful.

  8. Peter – TEAYS VALLEY LOCAL (verified owner) –

    I really liked the amount of information in this presentation. The speaker talked a lot about all of the different mental health issues our students face and practical solutions for these students. Many of these solutions will definitely find their way into my classroom. That said, I felt like I was preached at for a lot of this presentation. Still enjoyed it and definitely got a lot out of it.
