Deanna Dubinin, High School Competitions Coach
“I got amazing guidance from Karen Allen on how to work through some troubling feelings among my high school competition team by using reflective listening as a coach and creating/leading a restorative circle. The experience resulted in the team being closer and more open with each other and me than ever.”
School Admin. Assistant, Ventura County
“I really appreciated how Karen didn't merely read the presentation from the slides. Karen went into more depth and it was obvious Karen is very knowledgeable on this topic. I enjoyed learning about Dr. Perry's 6 R's and about strategies to support those in crisis while also taking steps to avoid overwhelming ourselves with the emotional load.”

“Because of your impact, this was the first year that my daughter was truly engaged in reading and improving her writing skills. I cannot thank you enough for your activities, and relevant teenager connections which developed her college-readiness skills.”
