MS 399, Bronx
"I would like to thank you so much for coming to our school and providing our students with the relationship violence presentations. Many students have begun to talk about different experiences they have been exposed to due to the many behaviors associated with relationship and/or domestic abuse. I really think these presentations have opened up their minds and broadened their awareness. All of the staff as well as the supervisors from the Regional Office were highly impressed with the topic content as well as the wonderful way you present the information. It was extremely engaging and well-explained so our student population could relate."
