Lecture "Nonviolent Communication"
"As a team leader, I've conducted many workshops and would like to emphasize the quality of this one once again: all the materials – especially the postcards – are very high-quality and attractively designed, making them something you're genuinely happy to take home. The topic of 'mental health' was explained clearly and concisely, and the exercises made it incredibly tangible and experiential. Workshops like this are rare; thank you so much."

“Ms. Tittel is not only highly competent, but also particularly authentic and approachable. She is able to raise awareness of mental health issues and ‘awaken’ people to them. We will definitely continue to work with Ms. Tittel and develop new projects together with her.”
