Adoption Awareness Trainings: For businesses and orgs that are working to support their employees' mental and emotional well-being. Providing a supportive and knowledgeable workplace environment can reduce employee stress and burnout, leading to higher productivity and retention. My training sessions are designed to equip your staff with the knowledge and practical tools to understand and support those who are adopted and those who are considering adoption as a way to grow their family. Topics covered include the adult adoptee experience, building a welcoming environment, the process of adoption, the power of community and more. I offer in-person and virtual trainings.

Consulting: My consulting services are designed to help businesses create a supportive and inclusive environment for employees on their adoption journey. I provide Human Resources departments with comprehensive guidance on the legal adoption process, ensuring they understand the unpredictable nature of this path and how to best support their employees through it. This proactive approach helps your organization offer the necessary time and resources for employees to bond with their new family members while preventing professional penalties.

For over a decade, I've had the pleasure of facilitating support groups and various speaking panels. What I love most is creating a space where people feel comfortable sharing and connecting. I'm skilled at making sure conversations flow well and that the atmosphere is relaxed and engaging. I have experience facilitating groups and panels both virtually and in-person.

Schools

Adoption Awareness Trainings: Too many schools and colleges, who want to be welcoming spaces for all, are not aware of the unique challenges that adoptees and their families face. My training sessions are designed to equip your staff with the knowledge and practical tools to understand and support children and adults impacted by adoption or foster care. Topics covered include adoption through the years, building a welcoming environment, the power of community and more. I offer in-person and virtual trainings.

Consulting: My services include comprehensive assessments of existing programs, curriculum review to ensure inclusivity and sensitivity around family structures, and the development of tailored strategies for fostering a positive and understanding school culture.
