Testimonials

“I am very grateful to Deanna for training me in the NAMI Peer to Peer, In Our Own Voice and Connection programs. I thought I wouldn’t be able to be a public speaker, but Deanna provided an inspiring experience. She created a calm, easy, and even joyful learning environment. I am now a trainer and heavily involved in several councils. She set the standard and I followed her lead.”
Jessie Williams, III
“It was great, just as indispensable as CPR training. Deanna was wonderful, charismatic, and overall, everyone was there because they cared, it was lovely to see. There were some beautiful, vulnerable moments that set the tone and gave permission to share and participate.”
Matthew P. QPR Suicide Prevention Training Student
“I have watched as well as participated in several trainings provided by Deanna Robinson. She is professional, articulate, empathetic and engaging. Deanna creates an environment of excitation resulting in her audience wanting to implement their education sooner than later. She is a model instructor and actively participates in the training of other NAMI presenters.”
Kim Bunnell President NAMI Greater Los Angeles
“Deanna lights up when she teaches! She takes a nuanced and complicated subject and engages her audience with clever wit, disarming humor and a deep respect for the material. I found myself grasping the concepts with ease knowing she was there beside me to empower me each time I got stuck.”
