Jeff brings to his presentations a down to earth understanding of children, the problems they face and the reality of the complexity in dealing with them. He injects humor when appropriate and makes us leave the meeting with much to ponder. In his talk about the college-bound students, for example, he offered information that was new to many about the reality of college life, yet also reassured many that the parenting they had done thus far would hold them in good stead- encouraging words meant a great deal.\' - Holly Scott, Executive Director, PACT, Cleveland, OH "I have worked with Jeff for many years and always look forward to his visits. Jeff has a wonderful way of connecting with the kids and the parents around some of the most troubling of adolescent issues. His credibility is unquestioned and he is the first person I turn to when I have questions or a difficult situation regarding drug or alcohol use." - Andrew Webster, Director of the Upper School, Berkeley Carroll School, Brooklyn, NY "Jeff forges a powerful relationship with students. I think of him as an advocate to our students. He's a trusted member of our school community. He's more than a consultant to the Williams School." - Loren Sterman, School Counselor, The Williams School, New London, CT.
