Workshops & Events
-
Continuing Education (CEU) Trainings
Structured professional trainings designed for licensed counselors, social workers, and mental health professionals seeking continuing education credit. Each training offers evidence-based content, clinical frameworks, and practical tools you can apply directly in your work with clients. Upcoming offerings focus on adoption-informed care, attachment and relationships, and identity-based practice.
-
Workshops & Webinars
Experiential, guided sessions designed for adoptees, adoptive families, and anyone navigating a major life transition who is ready to do real work in a supported setting. Workshops create space for honest conversation, personal reflection, and practical tools — not lectures. You will leave with something you can actually use. These are offered both in-person or as live webinars.
-
Conference Presentation & Keynote Address
Keynote presentations and conference sessions that open conversation, challenge assumptions, and give attendees something worth taking home. Drawing on clinical expertise and personal lived experience as an adoptee, Melissa brings a perspective that is both deeply informed and genuinely human. Available for mental health conferences, adoption and child welfare events, and professional development summits.
