"Susie's unique ability to connect with troubled teens allows her to share knowledge and insight on how to communicate with our orthodontic patients (and teen family members) more effectively and compassionately."

"When Susie made her closing comments after sharing her presentation with us, everyone in that room was silent in awe of the message we had just been given.
Don't miss an opportunity to see this emotional and inspiring story as told by the people who have lived it."
           Ken Fischer, DDS, President, California Association of           
              Orthodontists. Susie spoke for the 2005 California  
              Association of Orthodontists' (CAO) annual business meeting

Susie Vanderlip is a compassionate youth and family expert, author and speaker with 15 years experience informing, encouraging and educating professionals who work with and whose clients are teenagers. She comprehends at a profoundly deep level how teenagers think and feel and, as a result, how they behave. By speaking to nearly one million teens in school assemblies, followed by in-depth one-on-one conversations with 25,000 teens with personal concerns, she has acquired a level of insight into how teens feel, think and, then, behave that is rare in the adult world. She has developed the ability to communicate with teens and  is powerfully gifted in sharing these insights and skills with other adults through her LEGACY OF HOPE theatrical program and Workshops.

She has a keen grasp of teenagers'  underlying motives, feelings and pressures and infuses this knowledge into her  dramatic, captivating, and thought-provoking LEGACY OF HOPE® which she has toured across 47 states and Canada. She is renown in middle schools and high schools as the assembly speaker who dazzled the teens and got many to open up for the first time about feelings and fears. She has also presented  innumerable programs to parents and professionals giving them renewed passion in their work with teens and families as well as concrete tools for better teen-adult communication.

Susie's professional clients have included tens of thousands of 
       Mental Health professionals including psychologists, therapists, substance abuse
