I attended Bullies to Buddies conference in Milwaukee two years ago and have been implementing and teaching the program since then both at the school where I work and in my private practice. It_s simple genius. Our Home and School Association may be interested in having you present for an assembly. Could you provide some information about fees and available dates?
