I speak nationally with a variety of professional groups, companies, agencies, and audiences. My specialty is simplifying 21st century brain development and trauma-related research on the myriad of inter-connected topics: alcohol or other drug use disorders, mental health disorders, co-occurring disorders, secondhand drinking/secondhand drugging (impacts on the family), trauma-related toxic stress physical, behavioral and emotional health impacts, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), divorce/custody arrangements, grandparents raising their grandchildren of their own addicted children, underage drinking prevention, and the like.
