Is there an "I" in Recovery?

  • "  Mr. Fisher was a very knowledgeable instructor and the small number of participants allowed a more in-depth approach when necessary as well as practically one on one opportunities.  "

  • "  I appreciated the practicality and depth of the course. Despite the course being only three days, I feel as though we covered a lot of material, all of which was practically based and relevant.  "

  • "  I enjoyed the emphasis on learning by observing and doing, as well as the constant emphasis placed on identifying what could be taken back into the work place. I liked this because far too often the techniques, skills, etc. learned in the course are not taken outside of the training room.  "

  • "  It was not only a course that will help me improve my skills at work...it was also a self-realization course that will also help me in my personal life.  "
