Testimonials (4)
  • I have co-presented several times with Saulo. He always has the audience's attention with his ability to interact, ask questions, and use timely and pertinent Rap poetry and music. The most powerful presentation was before 110 inmates at a long term prison on painful addiction topics. Saulo was in their midst and the group standing up and cheering him on. Meaningful connection!

  • I was blessed with the opportunity to meet, speak with and learn from Mr. Saulo Ortiz, LCSW, during eh VSIAS Summer Institute in Williamsburg, VA, this past July 2019. His innovative, insightful, emotionally and culturally intelligence presentation on substance use disorders, while infusing one of, if not, THE most, influential genre of music today: Hip-hop/rap music. With evidenced based practice information, dynamics presence in the room, he is able to captivate, educate and illustrate his message to both the clinically sound and active in the profession, and the lay person. Mr. Ortiz can reach a vast audience across different cultural, racial, socioeconomic and age spectrums, he will add substance to any and all conferences, presentations and speaking engagements.
