We have had an amazing few days with Dr. Poland virtually. It has been so beneficial to have our community members hear from him. He helped us talk about a very important and sensitive topic with our students, parents, and faculty, and brought newfound awareness to the role of parents and school staff in caring for each other and for our students. 
 
We do hope that one day when the COVID clears, we can talk about bringing Scott out here in person. Our community is slowly learning that talking about important topics is a good thing so they appreciate all the parental education we can give them.
 
Thanks again for all your help.

Dr. Poland provided excellent invited major presentations on school safety and school violence prevention at the Great Lakes Homeland Security Conferences in both 2013 and 2014. The participants very much appreciated his wealth of practical knowledge and speaking ability.

The long and the short of it is: Scott was AWESOME! 
We have lots of positive feedback. I was with him and listened to both presentations... 
​I couldn't have asked for more from him.

Dr. Poland knowledge and how he addressed the group was spot on.. He was sure of what he said, his knowledge and how he expressed it was understandable. I could have listened longer. I would like to see more training from him on this topic.  An educational topic, one that all schools should have.

Scott has been consulting with Volusia County this spring (2014) as we have experienced a suicide cluster. Last week he presented separate sessions for administrators, support personnel and parents. His impact in our district in a 24 hour period was remarkable and his speaking ability is beyond giftedness. The Superintendent has already asked that he return to provide more training in our district.

Words cannot express how wonderful his training was to our school staff as he planted needed seeds for extra efforts and restoration to help our students.

I thought it went great! Honestly, everyone seemed to appreciate his views, thoughts and information.  Lots of school personnel felt validated in many of his comments and in the many things they or their schools are doing.  So, at this point we think it was a very successful presentation and overall conference.
