This class was phenomenal 10/10. Chris is very professional. He is good at getting you to understand by comparing parts of the lesson to real world situations while also keeping it ‘real’ if you will lol. Overall this Class was great I would highly recommend!

I highly recommend taking the Article 9 training through Omnean. Chris is a passionate, empathetic and knowledgeable instructor who really gets the point across on treating everyone with dignity and respect and and learning the proper training to care for and advocate for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

I found this class very informative and touching. I feel inspired to advocate for my patients and know what is and isn't okay as a direct care provider. You can tell Mr. Chris cares a lot about the rights of our disabled and is good at teaching and answering questions.

Wonderful Training Experience with Chris!

Overall, the training was very informative and had so many crucial takeaways. The instructor, Chris Garcia, really made this training a memorable experience that stood out from any online training I've done. He is very passionate about this work and the community he serves. He did an amazing job creating an uplifting and supportive environment, encouraging participation, and interacting with us. He was diligent about addressing all of the comments and questions shared in the chat. I truly appreciated the personal stories he shared and was moved emotionally multiple times throughout the training. His vulnerability is much appreciated and made for an inspiring and empowering experience. Thank you Chris!
