July 2013 "This program made me realize how lacking our college is and is prompting me to seek more training and work toward possibly heading up a program at our college."

"I thought the program was excellent! I learned so many things and hope to maybe do more training through CDP!"
  Connecticut Conference of Independent Colleges  Hartford, CT June 2013 "This training was highly valuable...Our university sent 10 representatives and we are all very motivated to make simple but profound changes on our campus to be more welcoming and supportive of the needs of service members/veterans."

"I liked the exercise portion; it allowed for interaction and to put information into an action strategy.  The overall training was very good and I feel that it was a good use of my time."
 
"Combination of videos, full coverage of the powerpoint content...and the opportunity to work with my colleague in the session to advance our services at our college was extremely helpful to us.  We really appreciated all the work that went into making the workshop educational, worthwhile, and comfortable.  Thanks for a nice facility, lunch, and all the refreshments."

Philadelphia, PA
April 2013 "The training was fantastic. It was very interesting and insightful. The trainer was very engaging and relayed a lot of useful information and relevant stories to help our understanding. The use of media (particularly videos of IEDs) to help us understand a glimpse into the lives of active duty members was a nice addition."

  North Carolina A&TGreensboro, NC March 2013 “I enjoyed the stories the presenter shared about working with veterans.

University of Wisconsin Milwaukee University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, WI March 2013 “I've attended a lot of training and seminars on treating veterans, and am a veteran, as well.

  Florida UniversityGainesville, FL February 2013 “As a provider without experience working with veterans, I was initially concerned by how much time was spent in the morning on describing the military, the military environment, stereotypes, etc. But I quickly realized how incredibly valuable it was!! Thank you for taking the time.”
  University of Syracuse  Syracuse, NY January 2013 “This program brought me closer to understanding and appreciating the experience of deployment and the challenges facing our veterans. Thank you.” “There was just the right amount of lecture, discussion, film, and activity so that I remained engaged the entire time. I learned so much more than I expected.” “Not only was it a powerful experience, especially with regard to the video clips, I learned some new things with regard to this population, which I strongly value when attending a program.”
  University of Maryland College Park, MD January 2013 “The workshop was well organized and taught in a way that any lay person could understand.
