Workshop Participants Say:

"The EAP counselor did an amazing job with her presentation. She engaged with an early morning audience of over 50 Operating room staff. She was fun and easy to understand and gave great personal references that helped with examples. I've seen other speakers have a lot of trouble keeping our staff present but she was able to get a lot of the staff interacting."

Workshop Participant
