Penina was an excellent trainer for the Building a Lasting Connection course. She was able to explain and model the course material extremely well and had patience for the many questions asked. She has also offered to be available for any future support needed as well. The team work of Dr. Gilmore, Dr. Jorgenson and Penina Flug made the course interesting and a wonderful and highly educational experience. I fully recommend the course for other therapists and community workers.
