The presentation and presenters were wonderful. I am looking forward to attending future presentations. – Courtney M., Mt. Sinai/Opioid Treatment Program

The energy. Passion, and method of teaching helps with learning and the ability to incorporate this in interactions. The scenarios offer the skill in practice versus “hearing.”. The trainings are always stimulating and I walk away with a new skill/information. – Michelle C., DOHMH

Very informative and helpful. I appreciate that the speakers recognized the work and challenges specific to Forensic SW @ Legal Aid. Nana A.

I thought this training was very welcoming and comfortable. It had great energy and so did both speakers. The speakers are clearly well-educated clinicians. The material was very well known to them. Angela S.

The Dealing Effectively with Inappropriate behavior training was very helpful. I appreciated the principles and techniques for working with clients. I think training should be developed into a full day or two part for future sessions. Teers P.

What worked well was having a large group with all different perspectives and experiences allows for a really nice discussion/hearing different point of view and strategies.  Thank you – really enjoyed hearing from presenters as well as other people’s opinions and ideas. Thank you! Macon H.

Everything was very well presented. SWEET always makes me feel welcomed and comfortable. The material is presented in a real way while providing clinical information. Jessica T.

I think the presenters were well prepared and had enormous amount of knowledge on the topic. Wanjuri H.

I was able to really think about my experiences, how I’ve handled them and why and to see clear ways to handle situations in the future though the principles, especially self-management. I really appreciated this training. It was very supportive, safe, and practical. Heather M.

I’m glad that the group had a chance to share their experiences, receive feedback and learn how to use that feedback in their place of work. Everyone’s experience is different. SWEET staff recognized this and handled the group perfectly dealing with a sensitive subject such as this. – Allison G.  

I liked the way you did role plays – that really engaged people more in the process. And thank you for not breaking us into small groups. Keeping the large group worked better. Rosanne T.

This training was very informative and also supportive. This is a difficult topic that was handled with sensitivity and care. Allison B.

Good balance of information and conversation. Great facilitators. Caitlin M.

Enjoyed the collaborative effort/learning style. Very good training. Relevant topic.Ebonie W.

I like the dual role of both presenters. They both have a lot of knowledge to share and basically do it really well.  Trelinda F.

Role plays worked really very well for me and the participation by all of us in the role play brought it together for me. The trainings here are excellent, the presenters are wonderful!  Andrea F.
