Review for Casa Center for Positive Social Change, Phoenix, AZ, USA
I have had the priviledge of working with Casa as both a Prevention Specialist and as an Independent Contractor on and off for 10 years. The work Casa does is commendable. Thousands of children have learned how to recognize and report child sexual abuse. Many others have learned how to recognize the many forms of bullying that happen everyday, and how to get the help they need if they are victims of bullying. Perhaps the most important aspect of what Casa does these days is its focus on Social and Emotional Learning. Stephanie Orr recognized early on how important the concepts of SEL are and has worked tirelessly to help schools and community groups learn why SEL is so important, and how it can become a regular part of what they do.

Sue - As always you are the best. These comments are terrific. We would not have reached these heights without you in teaching Casa's outstanding abuse and violence and bullying prevention programs alongside Casa's emotional intelligence programs to teach children, teens and adults optimal relationship skills and to decrease abuse.
