I would thoroughly recommend Michelle for speaking, not only to parents, but also to students. Thanks Michelle!

They require our full parental attention.
In this presentation Michelle’s uses seven traits to help parents transfer resilience during the everyday grind of school life.

Your talk was a particularly excellent one and resonated highly with me as my daughter struggles with self-harm. Got tucked into the book last night and it is wonderful. It’s a tough subject – still many things are taboo in society – but it is a fantastic read and helps develop a deeper understanding. No parent with children who self-harms should be without a copy of this book,
