“Gary Chapin’s presentation was attended by my Crisis Team staff plus a group of Care Coordinators, who also work with very complex and difficult situations involving serious mental health issues with children and adolescents. Mr. Chapin spent some time educating the staff about the impact of vicarious trauma and then conducted two guided meditations, set to ethereally beautiful music. The staff loved his presentation and emerged refreshed and relaxed, as well as better educated about this subject. Mr. Chapin has an engaging style of presentation, and his subject matter is one of critical importance for professionals who work in highly stressful emotional situations involving children. I would highly recommend this presenter.” Jill E., Director, Crisis Services, Child Guidance Center of Greater Bridgeport“
Thank you so much. Your workshop was just what I needed: a way to decompress from the emotions of my high-stress job. It was educational and informative on many levels.” Melanie D., Foster and Adoptive Services Specialist, Connecticut State Department of Children and Families
“I want to thank you for your excellent presentation to the senior and junior social work classes at Sacred Heart University. Your discussion of substance abuse, including the dynamics of addiction, assessment techniques, and modes of intervention was extremely well organized, interesting, and informative. Both the students and I agreed that we learned a great deal from listening to you and appreciate your willingness to contribute your expertise to our class. Your work sounds both challenging and exciting, and the workshop inspired many of the students to consider careers in which they will be able to work with persons suffering from addiction.” Elaine D., Director, Baccalaureate Social Work Program, Sacred Heart University, Fairfield, Connecticut“
I've always found Gary’s workshops to be both informative and affecting. In the workshop "Envision Yourself" I enjoyed a unique blending of experiences. I felt peaceful and relaxed during the workshop. At the same time, my imagination was stirred. As the workshop ended, I came away feeling re-energized and the joint pain I felt when I entered the room was considerably lessened.” Jackie O., Training Coordinator, Connecticut State Department of Children and Families“
The vicarious trauma training helped me connect ways to de-stress with breathing. I use the techniques all the time after work when I want to relax. Since attending the training and learning about visualization and guided imagery, I have shared these techniques with others as I’ve found them so helpful in really leaving the stress of work at work and connecting more with myself.” Marie L., Social Work Supervisor, Connecticut State Department of Children and Families
