Reviews from the TAAP State Conference

​

“This was one of the best classes I have had.  This information is crucial for the industry and Kimberly presented her facts and reasons in a clear and convincing manner.  Anyone in the field of substance abuse counseling should be required to have this training.”

​

 

“This had a big impact on me. I will change the way I work with clients with this information.”

​

 

“Excellent presentation: I believe this is the best one yet for me. I will surely use this in my practice. I am tired of substance abuse clients being treated like they have black and white choices, rather than seeing the steps they made for reduction. Love, love, love this!”

Reviews from NAADAC Webinar

​

“The presentation was excellent. I really enjoyed the presenter's style of presentation. It was informative and kept my attention. Please have her back! I could listen to her for hours......”

​

​

“This was an excellent webinar and the presenter's passion for the subject matter was evident. This is such an important topic and good information about the necessity of talking about substance use in a very nuanced way.”

​

​

“I manage a harm reduction project (Narcan distribution), and this presenter was amazing. I felt like I already knew everything there was to know about harm reduction, but my experience is almost exclusively community-based so it was so valuable to learn about it from a clinical perspective, especially since one of my goals is to better integrate harm reduction in that setting. The presenter was also engaging, entertaining, and offered fantastic examples/metaphors to better explain the concepts.”
