Psychoeducation
Knowledge is power!!! Accessing power is a form of therapy 😉
I LOVE teaching!
In a former version of myself, I worked as a health educator. Before that, my first entrance into healthcare was as a Registered Nurse. Core to every area of nursing is patient education. Is it the fiber woven into everything we do as patient caregivers and advocates.
Every encounter I have with my clients includes psychoeducation. It is one thing to “take the treatment” and entirely another to understand the why behind your options.
In addition to the routine education I offer during sessions (including handouts-I love a good handout!), I also offer custom speaking/teaching services for businesses, schools, and faith communities. This is a great way for more people to get the information they need.
Mental health education belongs everywhere-in our homes, our places of work, our places of worship, our classrooms, our places of play, and our areas of rest. At all times and in all places, we should be inspired, supported, reminded, and educated about how to take care of our mental health. There is a remedy to the stigma and poor mental health in our society and it begins with education.
How do I teach?
- Multiple formats tailored to the needs of your group or organization-this can include video, handouts, and experiential learning.
- With awareness of the needs of neurodiversity!
- With enthusiasm and excitement! I am passionate about everyone having the information they need to take care of their mental health and when I am finished, you will be too!
- In-person and virtually.

Investment
During your consultation call, we will review exactly what you hope to achieve in your program, your target audience, your budget, and your venue to create a custom package tailored to the unique needs of your group or organization. This will include information about promoting your program and generating funds for your program. While the upfront cost can be expensive, the return on improved mental health for your organization is priceless. The cost is easily offset by cost-sharing and fundraising.
