I couldn't have asked for a better class to be offered during this time. Got to learn a lot about myself and why I think or do certain things without even thinking about it. Thank you for this course!

Great course with implementable strategies, and a framework for implementing. Looks at "what do we want the to DO, rather than, what do we want them to learn." Loved it.

Many thanks Laurie. An insighful and well presented course. Hard to believe this course is free, a testament to Yales commitment to a wider community education programme.

I have learnt how material things are never the source of true and meaningful feelings. How to grow and take care of my self to then be grateful and help other around me.
