The workshop was an eye-opening and transformative experience. Yvonne created a warm and supportive environment that encouraged open communication and deep reflection. This workshop has allowed me to better understand myself and it has also given me the confidence to approach challenges with empathy and resilience. I would highly recommend this training program to all educators.
