SATI believes that one person, properly trained, can make a difference, not only in a school setting, but in an entire community. Positive changes have been observed and documented in the way adults in education react and relate to their students in every area of human interchange.  

TRAINER- Cheryl Watkins, MA, is the Executive Director and Founder of SATI, a non-profit making organization dedicated to the development and training of school and community personnel.
