Evidence from Practice
While many of these insights come from school-based implementation, the Empathy Engine™ is used across healthcare systems, workplaces, and community settings—including organizations such as Garmin, UMB Bank, and The University of Kansas Health System.
“As nurses, we are educated about different disorders and how they affect our students—but rarely do we get educated by the children themselves. That is a very powerful thing. You can’t help but be moved listening to these children.”
— School Nurse, University of Chicago Comer School Nurse Education Day
“I have been a nurse for over 30 years, and I have never had a presentation affect me like this. It changed how I think about caring for students with anxiety—both as a parent and as a clinician.”
— School Nurse, Belleville, IL
