Community Education

We value educating the community to promote mental and emotional healthiness.

Part of our mission is to help educate our community about evidence-based mental health information so that we can make informed decisions about what we can do to promote wellness. We often contact local schools, colleges, libraries, and community organizations to seek a setting in which our community can gather and work together to spread evidence-based information about living  emotionally healthy, balanced lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

We provide presentations for a variety of organizations, including schools, colleges, libraries, parent groups, community organizations, professional groups, healthcare providers, and businesses. If your organization is interested in providing evidence-based mental health education for its members, staff, or community, we’d be happy to discuss whether we are a good fit for your event.

Yes. Every audience has different needs, so presentations can be tailored based on the age of participants, their role, your organization’s goals, and the specific concerns you would like addressed. Whether you’re looking for a general overview of a topic or a presentation focused on a particular issue, we’ll work with you to develop a presentation that is relevant and practical for your audience.

Yes. We provide presentations for children, adolescents, parents, caregivers, educators, healthcare professionals, and other community groups. Content is adapted to be developmentally appropriate and relevant for the audience, with an emphasis on providing practical, evidence-based information that participants can apply in everyday life.

No. Community presentations are educational in nature and are designed to increase understanding of mental health concerns, reduce stigma, and provide practical strategies based on current research. They are not a substitute for individual therapy, psychological evaluation, crisis services, or formal professional certification or clinical training.

We encourage organizations to contact us as early as possible, particularly for school programs, conferences, staff development days, and other events with scheduled dates. Advance notice allows more flexibility in scheduling and provides time to tailor the presentation to your audience’s needs.
