Welcome and hello! I'm Dianne Fanti and I've been teaching in community settings since I was just 22. I was inspired early on in life to try to correct the deficits that I experienced when building my essential life skills, which set me on a lifelong path of learning and discovery! I've been studying ~ formally through college and certificate programs and informally through studying research findings ~ how we learn best, through engagement and participation rather than being lectured to. And I've curated a collection of the most effective and transformative, skill-building techniques and activities I've learned into an educational program called RESET for Wellness. RESET is approved by the Natl. Assoc. of Social Workers and the Maryland State Dept. of Education for Continuing Education and Continuing Professional Development. I have taught families and individuals, with ages ranging from 4-73, to build their essential life skills ~ like decision-making, creative problem-solving, and how to build resilience and coping skills, for instance ~ in creative and engaging ways. It is not only possible to recover from trauma and other setbacks in life, it can be expected when we have the right kinds of tools and support. This involves a creative and collaborative approach, and a solid map and plan to move forward.
