SALLY LESSEN

PAST TEACHER AND PRESIDENT, ILLINOIS FCS TEACHER'S ASSOCIATION

"Sarah Tierney is able to take a complicated issue and break it down in a way that anyone can understand. Through illustrations and anecdotes, and without a lot of technical-speak, Sarah engages her audience...I have heard Sarah speak on a couple of different aspects of mental health and referred back time and again to what I learned. As a former teacher, it helped me relate better to my students, but the information is just as applicable to anyone in your social circle. Highly recommend!!"
