On 10/21/2024, Amanda said: I came into this class not really knowing what to expect. I honestly signed up for it just to take a class. I am so happy I did! Matt made me realize why I was doing some of the things I was doing weren't healthy to my mind or body, and how to "fix" it. 10:10 Stars!!! If you have the opportunity to participate in one of his classes, DO IT!

On 11/18/2024, Kevin said: Matt takes presenting this class as serious as his job. He presents it with real world experience and knowledge instead of just “stuff” he learned in a book. It is beyond time to start taking mental health serious in our careers. It’s ok to not be ok, but it’s not ok to go through this alone. It’s ok to be broken!
