“I am writing this letter on behalf of Danny Holland and the Truth Schools presentation he put on for the students of York County Schools. I am not only an employee, but also a parent of children in the York County School system, and was extremely impressed with this presentation. It's difficult today to help adolescences understand the severity of the consequences that can occur from one bad decision. Mr. Holland's presentation has a powerful way of helping students understand by listening to the stories of other students.... I have heard Mr. Holland speak to students 9th - 12th grader and I highly recommend him to speak to your student body!” - Kendra Crump, Ed. D., York County School Division

“It is easy to see why Danny is considered an expert at understanding today’s young generation and their influences, and is a sought after presenter across the nation. His ability to customize age appropriate presentations that help young people avoid future regrets is second to none. It is without reservation that I endorse Danny Holland.” - Lee Merkhoffer, Ph.D., former Stanford University Professor - Author/Consultant and worldwide leader in decision analysis

“I have received many positive comments from students, staff, and parents. Everyone felt the program was relevant to todays' students and provided them with better information to make informed choices. Parents also felt it validated what they have been telling their children and now the children are hearing from a more objective person. Thank you again for a wonderful program.” - Middle School Principal

“Mr. Holland was able to capture and hold the attention of the student body through innovative means and address issues facing the generation of students that now attend our schools. He has created a way of presenting information through use of visual aides and stories in which he is not preaching but providing information in which students can use to make choices... I would recommend that Mr. Holland be given great consideration when an administrator is considering a guest speaker to discuss current issues facing the lives of our students in today's society.” - Doug Hartley, High School Principal, York County, Virginia

“I want to personally thank you for the outstanding presentation you delivered recently...Not only was it informative, but it also provided those present and many others the opportunity continue discussing a most important subject...Your engaging style and immediate rapport with the audience were most encouraging. Many of the parents and other adults present have been reluctant to engage in meaningful public discussions about the complex problem that has visited our city. All too often, parents who are not sufficiently educated as to the real issues relating to alcohol and drug abuse, tend to look the other way when the problem reaches their doorstep. Your presentation with its well-organized format made all present much more familiar with the wide-ranging aspects of substance abuse and suitable responses. One of the results of your efforts has been the establishment of a coalition of parents who will pursue every opportunity for ” - Middle School Principal, Northern, Virginia (referring to one Kids and Khemicals(TM) session)

Mr. Holland has instructed at my request, for the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services, Virginia Center for School Safety, Youth Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Annual Conference and the School Based Law Enforcement Officers Annual Conference. I have personally reviewed the evaluations completed by hundreds of participants who have attended his training sessions and he consistently receives exceptional scores in areas of quality of content, usefulness of information, and effectiveness of presenter. I have found his information to be relevant, up to date, and especially valuable for anyone working with youth in these challenging times. Mr. Holland takes great pride in his content and delivery using a variety of adult learning techniques to ensure the maximum effectiveness of his material.
