During these times of presidential provocation and reckless instability, there are voices of reason that prevail in our culture. One person worth noting is Learning Consultant Mike Haykin. Mike has a finely honed set of skills for working with kids and their families. Each young person he encounters is accorded respect and given a chance to thrive. Mike is able to assess what is more likely to work, even when other programs and resources have failed. Special Announcement: On March 15th, people will mail Donald Trump a postcard to publicly express their opinions. Take time to send our 47th President a postcard. Let him know how he’s doing.
