The following are some of the comments gathered from Dr. Berk's informative seminars.

Dr. Jay Berk has been presenting seminars at Marywood University since 1996. The participant evaluations for his trainings are some of the most positive among the numerous programs offered through the school of continuing Education each year. Dr. Berk provides practical knowledge for participants with his exceptional trainings. His presentation style is engaging and fun. I would highly recommend a Jay Berk seminar.

"I have known Jay Berk since the mid-1990's, when he became an advisor to and an integral part of the Screen Actors Guild's Young Performer's Committee. His work with aspiring young performers has helped the children and their parents to focus on issues pertinent to working in the entertainment industry, namely balancing professional and schooling commitments while maintaining a healthy view of their self-image and their role as maturing children. Our company, on location education, has enlisted Jay's service in other professionally-oriented presentations, notably for the Disney Channel and the Young President's Organization. His expertise of working with professional children has proved to be an invaluable resource for production companies, parents, and students.

Child and Family Services Agency in Washington D.C. tremendously benefited from Dr. Berk's highly informative, interactive and relevant training on Practical Strategies for Dealing with Difficult Teens.  The participants walked away with information and skills they could put into practice the next day.  Dr. Berk's training evaluations had all detailed and positive comments, a strong indicator that he reached the audience.  Dr. Berk gave the participants a renewed energy to work with this difficult population in a way that was different from a "traditional" approach that often times does not work.  We would be happy to have Dr. Berk back training at our Agency."
