Love the way this was organized. All the instructors really seemed to care and were prepared and involved and made me feel I mattered.

Renae was a wonderful speaker- you can tell she is passionate about what she does

100% wonderful. should have paid for it. would love collegiate level courses by her

Renae is an excellent facilitator, knowledgeable and communicates excellent

I found this to be some of the most valuable new info I've had in a very long time. Does Renae have this as book/video?

Thank you for putting this together! Is such a great idea to support and connect with other adoptive parents

I'm wondering what took me so long to take this class

I loved the rupture and repair breakout session. It was nice to let go of all my stress, fears and worries regarding COVID. Ironically enough, I tested positive for COVID the day after the event so I had COVID while attending the event and I didn't even know it! Perfect timing for rest and relaxation. Thank you for spending the time with us.

This was just the "shot in the arm" that I needed to get myself back to a 100% caregiver. If these could occur every 2 or 3 months, that would be amazing!

I appreciated learning more about compassion fatigue. I just really felt seen and like this is a real thing that happens and that I am not alone in struggling with it.

The Speaker, Renae is very informative and personable. I like that we are able to participate with others as well as the speaker. It gave me a general sense of well-being.

Renae was great and made the lesson interesting and informative

Meditation with Renae is always so so helpful, restorative, simultaneously energizing and calming.

It was good to see that I wasn’t the only one feeling burnt out. I also was reminded of my value and need to be able to take time for myself to rest and just be.

Renae has an effective way of teaching that is informative, engaging, interactive and comic relief

That I’m not alone, there’s lots of others feeling the same burnout (that it’s a normal reaction to difficult situations) and that there is a way to recover. Hearing that “therapists need their own therapists” was very enlightening. If therapists are in need, then even us caregivers are in need of help. That is, don’t just keep sacrificing your self and try and care for others without any help for ourselves.

I would love to attend another set of breakouts. That would be cool! Just knowing that there are others like me helps. I’ve been searching for groups, I was actually trying to create one

Meditation with Renae is always so so helpful, restorative, simultaneously energizing and calming.

The care package was absolutely above and beyond! The information I learned was wonderful enough in itself, but the goodies I received made it so much more special.

Great format and presenter was very knowledgeable and candid about own experiences

I felt SEEN, HEARD, VALUED and PRECIOUS and I am now going to remind myself of this every day. I would love if this was offered again, because there were other sessions that I would like to attend. My 18 year old daughter enjoyed the one with the plates and asked if there were any teen sessions like this she could attend.

I was in awe of what was taught in 8 hours! looking forward to the other classes

Renae was amazing - easy to follow and relatable

Renae is uniquely gifted to teach this material, she's amazing

This is the best training CASA has offered in the 3 years I've been a CASA. She was super enthusiastic and easy to pay attention to.

This training has helped me reframe my way of thinking

This class is life-changing. It should be taught to everyone. We are so thankful for Renae and her compassion and knowledge

I learned some new breathing techniques and for once in my life I allowed myself to completely relax while I listened to Renae during the second session. I would pay big money to be able to have a tape (yes cassette tape is fine) of her voice guiding my breathing and helping me let go of the stress I had/have. The candles and the chocolate covered almonds made me feel like I was in a five star resort.

Thank you for all the work and personal attention you put into explaining the topics you covered. Very helpful

Presenter was incredible & informative. You are magical! Thankyou!

Renae Dupuis is awesome! So knowledgeable and informative! I am able to understand what is being taught and apply it. This training has helped me reframe my way of thinking!

This was an enjoyable way to begin the day! Thank you for this great event and allowing me to participate!

Loved it! Made a note of several things I want to read, hear, study more about.

Renae is AWESOME! So knowledgable and informative!

I knew self care is so so important but it can be so much more or less than a bath or a solitary trip to target, both of which never happen for me. I needed that perspective shift though.
