Heidi was very kind, patient, and easy to listen to! She provided many breaks and gave examples of real-life situations that were moving and helped us connect to and better understand the lesson.

I loved the examples and stories used during the training. I am a parent-provider and thought a lot of the content was very useful for anyone who might care for my son.

Mr. Chris made ut easier for me to understand what we were learning about and answered the questions I had and explained in detail what to do in a situation where you don't know what to do. I appreciate the examples as well. It help me understand the situations that could happen and what can you do more. Thank you sir!

Amazing Class
May 2, 2026
First Article 9 class that I have taken that has kept my attention and given me information that I did not already know. Chris is extremely knowledgeable and truly cares about the information being taught to the class. Highly recommend the class and am looking forward to attending more classes, hopefully with Chris, in the near future.

Great facilitation

A great facilitator can really enhance a class and Chris did that! I have taken this class many times over my 20+ years in the field, Chris is a trainer you remember leaving you with tools, knowledge, skills, and resources that can help anyone where they are on their provider journey.
