I’ m so honored to be presenting at The Haven, Inc. Regional Trauma Training on September 29th on a topic I care deeply about — prevention, body safety, and helping adults better protect children from sexual abuse.

A special thank you to The Mama Bear Effect for the incredible resources and advocacy they’ve shared over the years. Their work has continued to support and inspire my own passion for prevention.

I’m excited for the opportunity to share practical ways we can create safer environments, have important body safety conversations, and help prevent abuse before it happens. 💜

I hope you’ll join me!

t🎲 Can You Guess? 👀

What do a toy dinosaur, a puppet, kinetic sand, and finger all have in common?

🤔 They're powerful therapeutic tools.

Children often communicate through play long before they can put their feelings into words. That's why play therapy is so effective—and why specialized training matters.

Join us for the Play Training Series and gain practical skills to better understand, connect with, and support the children you serve.

TRUE! 🎉

Every behavior is a form of communication.

Children communicate in many different ways—and play is one of the most powerful. Through play, children express emotions, process experiences, build relationships, and tell stories they may not yet have the words to share.

If you're a mental health professional, PLPC or student looking to better understand children's behavior and incorporate play into your therapeutic work, this training is for you!

🧸 Join us on August 22 for the Play Training Series and discover practical, play-based approaches you can begin using right away.
