I would love to add my name to the list of people who believe that Leadership Workshops Foundation for Youth and Family provides a wonderful service for both the youth and adults in our Phoenix community.
Our son Adam was a workshop participant prior to becoming a peer leader. The program and the people have made a tremendous difference in his life. I credit "Dr. Franny and friends" with helping him to develop his personal coping skills while giving him the guidance to provide leadership and support to so many other kids.
As a parent who has been involved with the kids on a volunteer basis, I continue to be amazed at the dedication and commitment of the peer leaders and leadership team. Their enthusiasm is contagious!
I have also attended parent workshops and believe this experience is equally important for adults. Topics are always relevant, and the interactive approach to learning makes it fun and informative.
I continue to highly recommend the program to friends and people that I encounter in both my work and academic circles. It has been a privilege to be associated with all of the people who work to make this happen.
Best regards,

"...We have come to believe that, even in families that function relatively well, there is a value in having resources outside the nuclear family for children to use. Leadership Workshop fulfills this role better than anything we have experienced, or have even heard of... Workshop also provides a unique environment for kids to feel affirmed and uplifted. So many of our cultural influences make kids feel bad about themselves...While Leadership Workshop does not promise to, and does not provide a path to a stress-free family life, it provides a set of tools that allow individuals and families to work through inevitable difficulties in a genuine, respectful, non-toxic way."
