"Susan Allan, with her creative approach and use of Nonviolent Communication has been a great addition to the Los Angeles County Jail program( M.E.R.I.T.)The M.E.R.I.T. Program is comprised of domestic violence offenders, including other family crimes or other crimes involving violence. Susan has added her unique model of communication by helping these inmates with an open mind, not judging their past, only steering toward a much clearer understanding of Man and Woman. We are privileged to have Ms. Allan share her wealth of knowledge. It's because of people like Susan that we are able to continue the work of rehabilitation of men and return them back to society as productive members i.e.: Fathers, Husbands, Leaders."
