consistently and frequently than others." ~ Brendan Burchard

"Reset for Wellness is an inspiring program, full of hope, that really has it all! It easily engages you into helping people not only to perform so much better in life, but also to learn how they can reach a state of joy and well-being through fun, flowing, and creative activities to know themselves and increase self-confidence. It trains you to create community and ultimately, helps people tap into that higher consciousness that we all innately have, that we most long for and are searching for I love applying it with the group and the community of people living with chronic illness with which I currently work."

"Dianne Fanti, the creator of RESET for Wellness has synthesized her experience into a form that's professional, useful, and applicable.
I don't think there's anything like it out there for any population.
It's unique, clear, creative, and a true gift to the profession and humanity."
About the Grievance and Gratitude activity, Ms. Sorois expressed, "This one especially speaks to me and I want to use it often and integrate it into my practice with nearly every client."

Reset for Wellness is a curriculum which would benefit most social workers and mental health professionals in providing support to a wide variety of clients. Although it was originally developed for those experiencing homelessness, I see benefits for wider population of clients including those with trauma histories (so many of our clients) ...This curriculum lays out a basis for learning how to best present these (skills: self-regulation, decision-making, and creative problem solving) in a variety of settings with nearly universal application of clients as they present for services."

"Shores of Success has been wonderful with my grandson Mickel. He loves earning what he wants and being helpful—you can see his self-esteem grow. I love watching him think about consequences and consider others, knowing he's building critical thinking skills for the future.
Most importantly, I'm seeing him develop independence and confidence in his own abilities. He's learning to make thoughtful choices and understand how his actions affect others around him.
The extra tools for communication and understanding are so helpful when anyone gets stuck. They've helped us work through challenges together and strengthen our connection. I'm excited to bring this to his school where I start teaching next month as one of the Community Ambassadors!"
K's Success Story
"When I met him at age 7 in Baltimore, his energy was boundless. We befriended one another, and I became a protective factor in a neighborhood with no shortage of challenges.
Most days after school, he'd stop by for some activity-games (which later evolved into my skill-building games.). As a former latchkey kid, I knew how much having someone who cares matters. Oprah credits teachers who looked out for her; Maya Angelou cites a neighbor who inspired her poetry. Community ties matter.
I encouraged his interests and we explored what success meant to him. From a struggling public school, he made it into a prestigious private high school. Now he's college-bound with scholarships, equipped with essential life skills, and confident in his abilities.
Over time, we became like family. I'm grateful to have met him."

I have known Dianne Fanti for over 20 years now and have watched her grow and evolve both personally and professionally. Always, she strives to share what she's learned with others through her work.
Having struggled herself as an adolescent, she has worked tirelessly to try to help others to prevent the same kind of suffering. She is generously minded and always has several free resources available to help anyone in need.
Recently, I purchased Dianne's skill-building game Shores of Success, and I've been most impressed by the accompanying online training for parents, which acts as an expert guide and takes you through step-by-step to get better outcomes with your child. In fact, you can hear Dianne working with me to resolve everyday challenges many parents have in the companion demo video!

She has created and led fun, impactful games and activities that naturally guide students into practicing coping mechanisms for relieving stress, harnessing focus, building self-esteem, and providing healthy outlets for energy and emotions. In real time, we watched our students not only grow in their ability to self-regulate, but also in their ability to support each other through difficult emotions."
