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.
We also offer professional consultation to individuals, businesses, and groups.
We love to share with our communities
Sharing Works
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.
