Speaking Engagement

Promoting mental and behavioral health awareness and acceptance can help reduce stigma, improve health literacy, increase help-seeking behaviors, and improve access to services. As part of this important cause, I am available to speak at training events for parents, students, educators, healthcare providers, and professional organizations. Topics may include but not limited to: child and adolescent mental and behavioral health issues, parenting strategies, and school-related issues.

• Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Training, Pasco County Sheriff’s Office. Topics: Autism Spectrum Disorder, Juvenile Behavior, and Behavior Modification

• PEPSA/CARD USF Autism Summer Institute. Topic: Treating Anxiety Disorders in Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder
