Testimonials
Local School Resource Officer
"When tensions rise, offering a moment to play a game can redirect focus, calm emotions, and provide a much-needed break from stress.
The Switch has enhanced my ability to connect with students, especially those with emotional or behavioral disorders. It's transformed interactions, making our school safer and more cohesive."
- Local School Resource Officer
Local Patrol
Officer
"I've been able to use the Nintendo Switch to de-escalate students in crisis on several occasions. It's amazing how quickly a student can calm down - what used to take an hour now takes minutes.
I also use it as a reward for good behavior. Though I'm no longer undefeated in Mario Kart, it's worth it!"
- Local Patrol Officer
"This class gave me the tools and skills that I will be able to carry forward. The material is
great and very up to date."
"All of you were great. You all made the class run and provided me with a path out of some
of the dark thoughts and tools to find the hidden meaning in some situations."
"This should be part of the Academy and made mandatory state clarification."
"Mind blown! You are all so amazing and truly living at your calling. Don't' ever stop or
settle for being unheard."
"Your ability to create a safe environment to allow us to share is a priceless ability that
can't be taught."
"Having real life experience gives buy-in needed to present to police/FF/EMS. Also, talking
to us how we talk to each other is huge. We don't want a "perfect presenter", we want real
people, talking about real things." (In answer to: Did the speaker support their points
regarding resilience and first responders?)
"Would love to have you all at my department and encourage co-workers to share and be
open."
"Very relevant information that I wish my upper management would talk/lead by example
regarding these topics."
"This has been the best class, conference, and learning experience I have ever attended.
The real world of all the presenters' experiences was fantastic. Il will recommend this class to all!!!"
