What people are saying.

  • “I just had the opportunity to see Lisa Weinman at work with our 6th graders - it was wonderful to see her again after our last gathering, but more importantly the work she and her colleagues were doing through their organization Middle Years Matter was AWESOME! Terrific engagement and team building as well as empathy and self awareness skills. I highly recommend looking into their work!

  • Review from a Parent Workshop

    “I thought it was excellent- and so well laid out with the “recipe”. I was wishing my friends were on the zoom. I think there is a real need for these discussions as middle school can be transformative, challenging, amazing, scary, exciting years-and understanding how we can help guide our kids through it is amazing!”

  • Social Media Workshop Review

    “Resurrection school was very impressed with the workshop that was put on by Middle Years Matter. Every student was engaged in the conversations and they all took valuable information from the lesson. We are very happy to have had them come to our school and looking forward to more workshops in the future.”

  • Parent Review from a Private Group Workshop

    “I have heard an overwhelming chorus of ‘THANK YOU’ from the boys’ parents for Saturday and for this follow-up. We appreciate it so much. My son made a "to do" list after school yesterday for completing the parts of his homework, soccer practice, while still fitting in his beloved iPad time. It worked! He was finished and in bed a half-hour earlier than he has been in weeks! Amazing. Thank you.”

    -Mom of a 5th Grader

  • "My son had a great time and was very encouraged by all of the study and organizational tips."

  • "My takeaway was that if I give myself certain brain breaks, I will actually be better at my work."
