From teachers and school administrators
“The innovative and provocative approach to interpersonal dynamics proved to be a valuable resource that our school can build upon and incorporate into our school culture. I was surprised at the degree to which my own views were challenged to change and how quickly my interactions with students took on a different tenor. This program has the potential to be life-altering and has definitely changed my life.”
-Teacher, Harlem Children’s Zone
“[The Relationship Foundation’s] efforts in bringing these essential skills back to the front line of human relationships probably hasn’t been seen since the encounter groups and consciousness raising sessions of the sixties and seventies. I am certain that Mr. Jascz will impress you with his tremendous commitment to this work.”
-Coordinator, Renaissance Charter School
“The program has helped our students not only build self-esteem, but it has given them the tools to be effective communicators. We are planning to use The Relationship Foundation to provide relationship training to our parents and staff.”
