Terry hosted a session for our company on anxiety and depression. Given that our team spans different time zones, we appreciate that Terry was able to hold two sessions. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Associates loved Terry's relaxed, easy-to-follow style, which helped us identify symptoms of anxiety and depression in ourselves and others. The interactive nature of the session, with questions sparking lively chats, made everyone feel less alone. We look forward to having Terry back to continue these important mental health conversations!
