Testimonials

"I wanted to send my sincere thanks for visiting Rye Neck Middle School today. Your presentations were everything we were hoping for and more. The content you touched on was perfect for what our Middle School and its parents needed. Your general affable personality and your laid-back and interactive speaking style had everyone feeling at ease with discussing this very important issue. We truly hope to work with you again so that we can get your information and message out to more parents (and kids)!"

"Let me tell you how the … evidence has been so positive as to create a strong momentum for more such work in our district...and elsewhere. A very positive effort!"

"Dr. Joel Haber has helped our community develop a school-wide anti-bullying program. Teachers, aides and students have learned strategies to effectively deal with bullies and ways to support victims. Dr. Haber possesses a world of knowledge and is able to communicate this information to adults and students in a positive way. Thanks to Dr. Haber the students in our school have been taught life-long skills to help them cope with conflict situations."

"The deleterious effects of bullying/teasing have been witnessed by countless parents over the years. Dr. Joel Haber's community approach to resolving this problem has been lauded by school administrators, teachers and the children themselves! He empowers the children to learn and employ skills/tools that they can feel confident using when difficult situations compromise their safety at school. Four Winds Hospital welcomed Dr. Haber to its conference center to present a Grand Rounds on the "ABC's of Bullying" on two occasions to a standing-room-only audience of 250 clinicians, educators and parents. Thank you to Dr. Haber for developing a caring and compassionate approach to this chronic issue which can be applied in school settings, summer camps, reinforced at home and applied in alternate learning environments."

"In our community there has been a growing consensus that we need to promote character education as a part of the fundamental, everyday culture in our schools.

In facing this daunting task, many of us attended courses, workshops, lectures and PTO meetings taught by Dr. Haber. As parents, we recognized the issues of bullying, exclusion, etc. But where and how could we start a community, school based program to address these issues? It was clear that developing a dynamic solution required more than just introducing a character education program.

Dr. Haber was the catalyst who taught us the key strategies we needed to focus on. He continued to offer lectures and workshops to help us educate and support parents and educators. Moreover, he facilitated an ongoing community dialogue.

Dr. Haber empowered us throughout this process. He had a comprehensive vision which addressed the complex needs of students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. He taught us, guided us, helped us maintain our focus and inspired us to be patient."

"On behalf of our PTA, I would like to thank you for the wonderful professional presentation on "Bullying". Your information was both insightful and helpful to all of us, both parents and educators alike."
