"Shari is truly a giving person--of time, compassion, and energy...her care for the greater law enforcement/fire/EMS personnel is proof of her dedication to bringing a better work environment for agencies and communities in the Great State of Texas...her teaching style in Peer Support/CISM classes is backed by a LOT of "street cred'", and she brings each class to a higher understanding of the subject..."

"Shari is an amazing person and passionate educator. Her work in the field of first responder mental health support has helped countless first responders across the state and beyond. In addition to the direct support she provides to first responders, the number of other responders, clinicians, and other professionals that she has personally trained in assisting individuals in crisis, assisting groups in crisis, and suicide prevention and intervention has exponentially improved the support available to first responders who otherwise would not have access to these resources.
