Dear Dr., Laklieshia Izzard:

Thank you so much for giving your presentation about Career Exploration at the Interdisciplinary Minority Fellowship Program’s  2021 first annual Interdisciplinary Summer Institute! We appreciate your time and dedication to IMFP.

IMFP Fellows described your session as “Engaging”, “Applicable to all fields”, and they enjoyed the energy that you brought that morning. You play a very valuable role in educating and influencing the future of our fellows. We very much appreciate your participation.

Attached to this letter, you will find a thank you presentation from us to you, as a token of our appreciation for the service you provided for us. Take care, please stay in touch, and we hope that you will be available to attend again next year!

Best regards,

APA and NBCC IMFP Team

I just wanted to say thank you to Dr. Izzard for the presentation on Managing Cumulative Stress. The Child Life team had wonderful things to say! The Staff felt that the presentation was a great overall reminder of the importance of self care, regardless of what that means for each individual person. I was told that this presentation was a “great foundation and reminder to focus on ourselves when needed.” Dr. Izzard was an engaging speaker and staff especially loved the hands on portion. Some staff even wished that there had been more opportunity for hands on healing because the exercise that she did made such a large impact on the team. This presentation brought about great conversation for the desire to learn further strategies to continue to support ourselves through the difficult day-to-day work. Thank you again for helping us begin to reset and refocus on ourselves so that we can be better caretakers at the hospital.

I sit here giving thanks to my Lord and savior for another day. It has been a blessing to have Dr. Izzard treating me. Her styles of therapy are very unique and very spiritual. We used different bible verses to deal with my PTSD and other anger problems. This technique helped me to gain a better understanding of God and how to allow him to handle my problems. The deep breathing technique are very helpful and so relaxing. Now when I get upset I turn to my bible. Being able to deal with my emotions by writing them down and what triggers the feeling helps me. Now I have a better relationship with myself and God. Thank you Dr. Izzard for everything you have done for me and my family.
