Over the weekend, I attended a community action group meeting called "Bridging the Gap." It's a working group comprised of elected officials, community leaders, parents, and citizens of the City of Mountain Home, with the purpose of addressing how mental health is addressed in the community, especially with regards to our City's youth. I was asked to give a presentation, and I chose to focus on how parents can deepen the connection they have with their kids and foster healthier communication (especially listening skills and validation). If you weren't able to attend in person, please feel free to check out my slides: Community Presentation

I was blown away by the overwhelmingly positive feedback I received! Thank you so much to everyone who was in attendance and to everyone who has since reached out asking for additional information. 

I would like to continue to offer presentations around the community, so please reach out if you would like me to put together a presentation on a mental health related topic. I can come to your office, classroom, luncheon, etc. While my area of specialization is on couples and communication, I am more than happy to address additional topics. 

Reach out so we can put together an event: Talk to Laura
