About Our Clients

Read what some of our client’s are saying about our services.

  • Eryn Kudzinski, Vice President of Health, Safety, Security and Risk Management

    Our organization began working with Laura Thompson in 2023 to conduct virtual trainings for our global team members. Laura provided excellent training on very difficult topics such as working with students who report sexual assault or suicidality. She delivered these trainings with great empathy, understanding, and care, and our team members feel more confident now when faced with these concerns. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Laura and The Mental Health Team in the future.
