Testimonials

What Real Parents Say About Janine & Elizabeth

“I appreciate all of your resources and have recommended them to  parents and students along the way.  I think my favorite is the coping skills divided into categories, which I try to show kids in conversations about how they don’t all have to dig breathing or mindfulness let’s say (which is often the hardest sell).”

– Stephanie

For Janine Halloran

“I am excited and feel empowered to have gained methods to develop a better understanding of social learning. My perception and understanding of social and emotional learning has been positively enhanced. This will carry over to my relationship with my kids, and particularly my 11 year old – who struggles socially.”
