Is There A Doctor In the House?

Is There A Doctor In The House?

A Q&A session on Processing & Healing Trauma with mental health professionals.

As we seek to find answers to mental health issues, it can be challenging to sort through the overwhelming amount of conflicting information found online or in literature. This session will give attendees the ability to ask specific questions of our very qualified speakers on topics related to mental health, counseling, resilience, and strategies for helping children from hard places. Whether you work with children in your home, or professionally outside the home as a CASA, youth worker, church volunteer, or social worker, you will appreciate the information that will be shared in this discussion.
