Testimonial:

 “Charlie Appelstein spoke at the Harvard Medical School/Cambridge Course on School Mental Health. He trained/entertained/WOWED the over 450 participants. I don’t see a standing ovation too often…but he received one! We have already invited him back to participate in one of our other conferences.”
