“So professional, so clear, so much information in a short time. You really got our audience. So much information and so meaningful. Practical and straightforward guidance—it was perfect.

"Justine’s presentation was amazing. As a School Counselor for middle school students, the information was highly relevant and beneficial to me. I work at a public school in a rural and isolated community in Hawaii, where we are extremely limited in our resources and access to information. I am so grateful that Justine made the trip to our island and that I was able to attend her presentation. I feel re-inspired and motivated as an educator and counselor. Her presentation equipped me with the language and tools I need to talk to youth about relationships, sex, gender roles, and social media. I will use tools from this presentation to inform and empower youth to make healthy decisions regarding sex and relationships. I highly recommend this presentation to parents, teachers, counselors, and anyone who works with youth. It is critical in this technological era that we as adults keep up with the internet experiences of youth and help guide and inform them to make healthy decisions regarding internet, sex, and relationships. Everyone should hear this presentation." - Middle School Counselor
“I feel more confident confronting sexual violence and bullying in my school.” - High School Teacher
“Most people want to ignore this issue unless it’s a crisis. I am now more likely to intervene to counsel a student engaged in high-risk sexual activity.” - High School Counselor
“Justine went above and beyond to make sure we had the latest research-based practices to address high school athletes about relationship and sexual violence effectively. Justine worked with us to develop lesson plans, instructor resources, and videos for the program. Her passion and enthusiasm inspires everyone she works with.” -Senior Project Director

"Thank you, again, for the presentation that you made! We've always conversed with our son about life's issues, but this opened a door onto teenage stressors we hadn't considered." -Mother
"Justine shared relevant research on the topic of social media and facilitated wonderful conversations with skill, expertise and, most importantly, compassion. I do hope she continues to find ways to reach out to parents, schools and communities to bring meaningful conversations about these very important topics to as many of these groups as possible." -Mother
