"I had the pleasure of working with Steve for 3 years at Amtrak. During that time, I learned a great deal from him, including how to meet the needs of an organization through quality training. At that time, processes within the organization, with response to critical incidents, were undergoing quite a transformation. Steve led our team to promote resiliency in meeting the needs of employees impacted by these events. His training and guidance was well received and had a very positive impact across the board. I've also had the pleasure of seeing Steve present to EAP colleagues on managing substance abuse/recovery in critical incidence response. He provides practical and informative material and tools that can be used in the field right away."

"Steven is an outstanding professional who is always on time and offers the most quality for your needs or presenting challenges in the workplace. He delivers some of the best training presentations that I have ever attended. He is light-hearted in his presentations, sticking to the facts of the topic but keeps the audience involved and leaves you wanting more on some very in-depth topics. From an individual, face to face need, Steven provides the finest quality of professional assessments and evaluations. He is courteous and sticks to the point. Very trustworthy and professional. ”

"I attended the SAP requalification training facilitated by Steve Garnham on June 8th & 9th, 2017, and learned so much valuable information that will help me in my clinical work as a SAP. The training was thorough in explaining the DOT regulations, clear in outlining SAP responsibilities and presented in a manner that was easy to understand. I also learned information that I did not know that I did not know despite having practiced in the role of SAP for many years!"
