Attendee Feedback:
“I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation. It was helpful to learn more about the brain-based research behind the happiness principles. Understanding how to incorporate these principles through daily practice will be extremely helpful to me in my professional career.” -Sarah
“This course speaks the language of school psychologist’s who need this training most. Extremely relatable and engaging! Information is not transformation but taking this course is a giant leap in the right direction.” -Brianna
“I really enjoyed learning about each of the principles of happiness. I am grateful to learn that there are websites and apps that I can use to help increase happiness, reduce stress, also techniques that I can implement right now.” -Julie
“This was a great presentation with a lot of helpful tips! I feel ready to implement my self-care action plan now. :)” -Arielle
“Excellent presentation. I was very happy to see that many of the recommendations were relatively easy to build into every day life.” -Chelsea
“Rebecca is authentic about her experiences, strength, and weaknesses. She is relatable and inspires confidence. I liked the action plan that we were encouraged to complete.” -Mary
“I found it was easy to follow and provided simple easy strategies that can be implemented into my busy schedule.” -Kayla
“This was a mindfulness break within itself which left me feeling recharged and positive moving forward this year.” -Kelly
“A grounding presentation with great examples of some basics that can be taken for granted. This presentation is something I will try to get in the habit of referencing a few times a year so that come March “happiness” is still a word in my vocabulary!” -Renee
“I really enjoyed this presentation. I found it particularly helpful because it was geared towards school psychologists and the issues that we typically face on a daily basis.” -Lisa
“I like the focus on self-care for school psychologists. I think self-care is often not considered a “valid” topic for school psychologists to be concerned about it. It’s nice that Dr. Branstetter validates that it is. She also gets into specific activities for self-care instead of talking just in generalities; yet she also brings in evidence-based scientific research to support her plan of action. More school psychologists should think about their own self-care via Dr. Bransetter’s programs!” -Maureen
“I found the information and resources to be VERY useful. It’s refreshing to have a training opportunity that is relevant to my role as a school psychologist from someone who clearly understands the challenges involved with the job.” -Darlene
“I loved this! This is all really practical information I can share with my colleagues and students. Thank you!” -Kristine
“I thoroughly enjoyed how down to earth and natural she was while presenting. Some doctoral presenters can be stuffy and overly academic, but Dr. Bransetter appeared to be “one of us” and very relatable, which was refreshing!” -Tracy
“I appreciate the well researched information presented in a conversational, friendly-like manner, which made it practical and very relevant for me in the profession. I appreciate the wealth of resources made available and presenter contacts via various platforms. I can incorportate strategies immediately, which is the best part of this presentation” -Athena
“We feel stressed everyday when working in education, or any field where you have passionate people who have little control over some of the more important aspects of their job. However, it was during a moment of elevated stress (a national emergency affecting ALL of us in ALL aspects) that I had my own a-ha moment. I decided now is the time to practice what I preach. I can only continue to help others find a way to decrease their stress, reduce anxiety, and be more productive if I take care of myself and learn self-compassion. Signing up and taking the time to sit and listen to this was one of the first steps on that journey. Thanks Rebecca.” -Yvette
“The presenter was very knowledgeable about the topic and gave excellent examples that relate to the every day life of a school psychologist. Presentation was excellent.” -Nicole
