Understanding & Ending Bullying Workshops

I want you to know how much your bullying material has impacted my 3rd and 4th graders this year. The number of bullying reports have significantly gone down, and I’ll get statements in my office like, “Ms. Alaine, I went over the three P’s, and I don’t think it’s bullying. But I still need some help!” We also spent a long time in 4th grade talking about our Bully-Busting Spirit Animals, so I’m able to point out in individual sessions when someone is acting like a “Tiger” and they know exactly what I’m talking about. It has been so neat to give such clear directions for helping my kiddos navigate their world. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us! —Alaine Dawson, M.Ed. School Counselor Grades PK-4, Our Lady of Mercy Catholic School, Baton Rouge, LA.

We certainly benefited from your expertise.  I could not be more excited about the positive energy generated from your being here with us.  Our families and teachers are especially excited to put your advice into practice.  We will meet later today to plan our next steps. Cathy Edwards, Head of School, Carden Arbor View School

Things have been going so well since your visit. My lower school teachers have been following up with their students everyday on kindness activities and we have heard from several students and parents that there is a change here. Of course the important thing is to keep it going! Thank you again for all that you shared with us and for such a healthy path you’ve put us on.   Julie Schlossinger, Head of the Lower School, Vail Mountain School

The Angry Smile: Changing Passive Aggressive Behavior

The material on passive aggressive behavior in children was very applicable to my job and will be helpful in dealing with my own kids.  I can see myself using these skills in both my professional and personal life.

Thanks so much.  I’m very much looking forward to using the book with both my students, myself, and my granddaughter.  I know it’s going to be a great help.  The workshop in Bedford, NH was wonderful for me, although it made me sad to recognize the long-lasting effects of childhood experiences within myself.  However, as my husband encouraged me, “Now we know what to look for with respect to our granddaughter and we can help her so she can be free from the anger and its side effects.”  Thank you for this valuable workshop!  It was a pleasure.

Life Space Crisis Intervention Training

Thank you for the life-changing experience I had as a participant in the LSCI training January 24-26.  I have had the opportunity to us LSCI on a daily basis.  My goal is to help our staff at the Alternative school by providing them with the tools of LSCI.  I do plan on incorporating LSCI into my dissertation and will be looking to you for assistance in the future.Thank you, Signe. I look forward to working with you again in the future.                                                                Kay Arnold, M.Ed.

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the LSCI course. Your teaching style is great, particularly for this type of course. Role-play is sometimes difficult for some people, however; your relaxed style made it easier for us all to get into it. Your examples were very helpful and brought the concepts to life.                                                                                                                                                             Lela Weems, PhD, LPC

Signe is VERY knowledgeable in LSCI. She used great examples and shared her experiences using the intervention skills.
