“The COVID-19 pandemic has left healthcare staff stressed, isolated and uncertain about the future. Add to the losses we’ve suffered the constant need to present ourselves as more “okay” than we really feel. Linda’s program, Gratitude Heals During Times of Isolation and Uncertainty was helpful to our nursing home community which needed that change in perspective to see although we have been through a lot there was a lot to be grateful towards.” Bryan O. Buckley, DrPH, MPH MedStar Institute for Quality and Safety

“NDP was enriched by the insights into the health and well-being of practicing gratitude that Linda shared.  She provided specific techniques and strategies that our faculty and staff could use both personally and within their classrooms.  It is only fitting that our theme for the 2021-22 school year is “With Grateful Hearts”.  We continue to practice gratitude at NDP. “ Laurie A. Jones, Administrator, Notre Dame Preparatory School
