Community Education, Training & Speaking Engagements
We partner with schools, parent organizations, and community groups to provide educational presentations, professional development, and training focused on children's mental health, learning, and development. We show up beyond the office — our goal is to deliver practical, research-informed information that helps adults better support children across school, home, and community settings.
Professional Development for Schools & Educators
We provide speaking engagements and staff trainings for schools, educators, and student support teams on topics related to children's emotional well-being, behavior, learning, and development. Presentations are tailored to each audience and may include:
- Anxiety and emotional regulation in students
- Executive functioning and classroom support strategies
- ADHD and attention-related challenges
- Supporting student mental health in school settings
- Social media and technology impacts on children and adolescents
- Behavioral and emotional trends affecting students today
Our trainings are designed to be practical, engaging, and immediately applicable within educational settings.
Parent Education & Community Presentations
We regularly partner with parent organizations, nonprofits, and community groups to provide presentations that help families better understand child development and current challenges impacting children and teens. Topics may include:
- Healthy technology habits and digital wellness
- Anxiety and emotional resilience in children
- School-related stress and executive functioning
- Parenting support strategies
- Child and adolescent mental health trends
We are also available to support parent-focused initiatives and awareness campaigns, including organizations promoting healthy childhood development and intentional technology use.
Trainings for Organizations & Community Partners
In addition to schools, we provide educational programming and consultation for nonprofit organizations, community agencies, and professional groups working with children and families. Sessions can be adapted for:
Mental Health Organizations
Youth-Serving Nonprofits
Parent Advocacy Groups
Community Wellness Initiatives
Pediatric & Educational Professionals
Our approach emphasizes accessible, evidence-informed information presented in a way that is both professional and approachable.
Community Involvement & Youth Mentorship
In addition to presentations and trainings, our team values direct involvement within the community. Dr. Huston has participated in middle school mentoring initiatives focused on supporting students' social, emotional, and personal development.
These experiences provide opportunities to connect with students outside of traditional clinical settings, while encouraging confidence, resilience, healthy decision-making, and positive peer relationships. Our commitment to community engagement reflects our broader goal of supporting children not only in therapy settings, but throughout the environments where they learn, grow, and connect.
Collaborative, Practical & Audience-Focused
Every presentation or training is tailored to the audience, goals, and setting. We aim to provide information that is:
- Research-informed
- Practical and actionable
- Developmentally grounded
- Relevant to real-world challenges facing children and families
Our focus is on creating conversations that support healthier environments for children across schools, homes, and communities.
