Dr. Paul Donahue has provided exceptional training in early childhood mental health to national audiences and helped us develop a training guide on this subject. Over the years I have recommended Dr. Donahue as an expert consultant to several states that needed help in developing programs to address the mental health needs of young children, their families, and caregivers, with very positive results.

Working full time and raising healthy, responsible, independent and socially responsible kids is like having two full time jobs. Dr. Donahue’s compelling webinar really helped our employees learn ways to reduce their stress at home and bring more energy to the workplace.

Being in the mental health field for over 40 years has afforded me the opportunity to collaborate with countless mental health professionals.
Dr. Paul Donahue (and his colleagues at Child Development Associates) continues to be one of the finest Psychologists I have ever worked with. I have known Paul for over 20 years and have confidently referred many children and families to him. He is a recognized expert in the field, and a skilled individual and family therapist. (His warm, empathic manner makes for a trusting therapeutic connection.) His book Parenting Without Fear has been a valuable resource for me and my colleagues. I am grateful for Dr. Donahue’s generosity when it comes to sharing his expertise and consultation skills.
