About General Staff Development/Training Programs “From my vantage point, your individual and family treatment initiatives as well as involvement in the STARS Program shows what a skillful and caring treatment specialist you are. You’ve had a meaningful impact on the lives of dozens of teenagers and families through your work and have quickly gained the confidence of many Juvenile Court and Child Welfare social workers within our staff. “The quality of your research and ability to identify with the children and families we work with and the humanity that you exhibit only added to the positive word-of-mouth testimonials that preceded these training seminars.” –Barry Neumann, Social Work Supervisor-Juvenile Court Ongoing Unit, Sheboygan County Division of Social Services About “The Volcano–Strategic Intervention With Trauma Victims” “[Steve”s] presentation focused on developing an in-depth understanding of victims involved in traumatic events and the disruptive behaviors that surface in the therapeutic setting. His training included Brain Scans, Heart Math Stress Scans, and short upbeat videos. His program assisted our employees with a better understanding of trauma identification and intervention planning; which included two quick and easy assessment tools used to recognize traumatized youth. Our training evaluations were extremely positive and we plan on having Mr. Sawyer back for an all day speaking engagement. Just a few of the comments were:
–Marilyn Clarenbach, Director of Staff Development, “It was very refreshing to hear a behavioral health professional, who understands teens, speak with excitement and hope. I personally enjoyed the information regarding the brain development. The information not only gave a reason for the behavior, but also provided many options for parents on how to communicate when faced with the behavior. Many of us left that night with new strategies to try, and also with the insight into ourselves and our own emotional response to our teens.” –Sue Debelack, Coordinator, Waukesha Alliance Supporting Strong United Parents (WASSUP) “Steve is a very good speaker—clinical knowledge in layman's terms!” –Milwaukee Area Social Worker, My Home Your Home “The info was organized, flowed well, and kept my attention!” –Milwaukee County WrapAround Social Worker, My Home Your Home “Steve was very knowledgeable.
