Hello,
Where are these presentations conducted? And what times? Also are they set up for families of adopted and foster children, clinicians, or both?
Hi Jerry, I’m sorry for the late reply. We host these presentations at various locations around Salt Lake City and Provo. We don’t offer direct services, but you could check our website’s Provider Directory to see therapists or counselors that are trauma-informed. These presentations are for everyone- therapists and community members. We also usually tape them and post them on our website and on Facebook if you ever couldn’t make one.
