What Parents and Educators are Saying...
Time for Change Workshop
"Watching this workshop unfold was powerful. Janice took the time to truly listen to every parent—she didn’t rush or talk over anyone. You could see how much that meant. Families connected with her right away and really connected with the message too. For the first time, I saw parents fully engaged, encouraging one another, and leaving with real tools they could use. It wasn’t just inspiring—it was empowering."
— School Staff Member, Cleveland Metropolitan School District
"This workshop was a great experience. I really loved it. It showed me how important it is to use my time in a better way—so I can be more present with my kids and actually parent them, not just get through the day. I didn’t realize how much my life situation was controlling my time and keeping me from being part of my children’s learning. It’s not about how much time we have—it’s what we do with it that matters.
What I really appreciated was being able to talk with other parents. We all have our own struggles, and it helped to share and figure things out together. Sometimes it’s hard to help our kids in school when we’re just trying to provide for them. This workshop made me feel like I’m not alone—and that I do have something to give.
The way the presenter explained everything made a big difference. It was clear and easy to understand. I walked away knowing what steps I could take and how to find the support I need—not just for my kids, but for myself too."

Establishing a
Circle of Support Workshop
"I knew I needed support, but I had no idea where to start or how to build something that would actually help. The Circle of Support workshop changed that. For the first time, I don’t feel so alone—and I finally have a clear path forward. I left feeling hopeful and equipped to take the next steps. I can now support myself in meaningful ways, so I can better support my neurodivergent children."
— Parent, The Bridge Avenue School
Nurtured Heart Approach®
"The NHA workshop helped me get to the root of intense emotions, and introduced the 3 Stands in a way that really made sense. I especially appreciated the examples, videos, and stories. The 'nutritious words' really stuck with me—I’m still chewing on them! It was clear, straightforward, and incredibly encouraging. I’d love to learn even more techniques to help my 4 year-old and middle school students with self-regulation so we can have these important conversations together."
