Presentations, Speaking Engagements and Community Involvement

Speaking Engagements Available

We value community, and contribute in promoting wellness by sharing presentations, workshops, or other speaking engagements, including CEU classes.

We strive to provide psychoeducational services to students, teachers and administration, as well as businesses in the community.

According to research, increased access to evidenced-based mental health information helps members of the community have a better chance at creating healthy lifestyles and being proactive with their mental health. We want to break down barriers by opening dialogue and increasing knowledge about mental health wellness to help our community grow healthier and happier.

If you are interested in being added to our calendar of speaking engagements, scroll to the bottom of this page and fill out our speaking engagement form. While we specialize in giftedness, high sensitivity and high functioning Autism, our therapists speak on various topics from workplace communication and leadership, to school based trainings for kids, teachers, administration or parents on things such as anxiety, bullying prevention, self esteem, social skills, peer pressure and self advocacy, and much more. If you contact us, we will reach out to you shortly.
