Quotes from staff members of agencies that have received the          BUILDING CREDENTIALS training:

" Training isn't even finished yet and there is already a big improvement in attitude.  One resident wants to earn the later bedtime, another is working toward next weekend's outing.  The thing I like about it best is their change of attitude."

" The kids are really trying and they really keep staff on their toes."

" I've been here 12 years and this is the best system we've ever had."

" This is great.  It's positive, it's daily and it's practical."
