Following your presentation at the Indiana Non-Public Education Association conference, we heard a lot of positive comments. Your topic, relational aggression, was very popular, and those who attended said it was really, really good. We appreciate you sharing your knowledge with our members and hope you can join us again at a future conference or event.

GAPRA‘s training for Menomonie School District staff was great! We learned some key principles, such as the fact that focusing on the consequences alone doesn’t fix the underlying problem. I appreciated the philosophy that our thinking creates reality.
The most valuable takeaways were the strategies for dealing with emotional bullying. They have a wide range of strategies that work district-wide, for kindergarten through high school. The training was a great reminder that we can’t fix their problems for them.
Thank you for your guidance!

Sitting in the principal’s chair, it’s easy to become reactionary. You do what you believe is right with giving consequences, but often, I’ve not enabled the students to act on their own and learn from experience. The GAPRA workshop for 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade girls empowered the girls to work through exclusion, gossip, name calling, secret sharing and teasing on their own.
In addition, when you facilitated our 6th grade Friendship Mentoring Training, they learned how to deal with relational aggression independently, plus they received great tips to become friendship mentors to younger girls.
These workshops position our students to focus on academics rather than social issues. Thank you!

The district-wide staff training gave us excellent guidance on successfully handling relational aggression situations. We learned how to help girls handle situations where they’re being harassed by other girls. Plus, you’ve given us the opportunity to teach girls that they “own” their feelings. That’s huge!
I really liked the role playing where you showed us how to effectively address angry parents in a caring, yet strong manner. We saw great examples of how to treat difficult parents respectfully. It’s exactly what we want our staff to do.
Your training was low key and very practical. It was exactly what we needed!
