"After seeing you last week, I felt like 20 lbs was lifted off my shoulders. Thank you for your help."- Anonymous
"Got to see my first CIT case all the way through last night. A lady with schizophrenia came into the station and was having a rough go. Was able to calm her down, call the MHEW, drive her to the other side and get her admitted. Just wanted to say thank you. Without your training that would have gone a much different direction."- CIT Officer K. Harris
”Dr. Dara is law enforcements best friend and biggest supporter... having known (him) for many years personally and professionally, my statement is easily backed up by many others.”- Sgt. Nick Krau
“Dr. Rampersad is one of my most trusted and skilled colleagues. While acting as the forensic coordinator for the county of Maui, he brought expertise, creativity, and consensus-building to communities and systems that were previously fractured and paralyzed. He was an effective conduit for change, building not only evidence-based programs but — more importantly — trust among stakeholders. Dr. Rampersad embodies that rare blend of skill, expertise, trust, and humanity that is found only in the very best of professionals.” - Dr. Neil Gowensmith
