Speakers Bureau

Every day, our staff works to change the lives of hundreds of families and individuals throughout Massachusetts. Family Continuity employs nearly 300 staff professionals with many years of experience in the field and numerous specific areas of expertise. In many cases, this experience includes teaching and public speaking to professionals and the general public as well. In an effort to promote our values: family, community, change, and especially advocacy and leadership, we have initiated a Speakers Bureau to go one step beyond our day-to-day role of providing social and clinical services, to create a forum for public education and advocacy.

The Speakers Bureau offers Family Continuity's breadth of experience to other professionals, schools, parents, students, community groups and others on a wide variety of important topics related to social, educational and mental health services. This service is available to the community at no cost and is limited only by the availability of people with the best match of skills and experience to meet the request.

Some recent examples of presentation topics include:

• Parent-to-Parent mentoring
• Positive Youth Development
• How to assist your child with homework
• Managing a child's disruptive behavior
• Mental health and the Elderly
• Understanding "Wraparound" services
• Coaching peer mentors
• Understanding Autism and Asperger's
• Accessing special education services (parents' and professionals' viewpoints)
• Bullying in Schools and Cyberspace
• Overview of the Children's Behavioral Health Initiative
• Depression in Teens
• Client/Patient rights in mental health
• Primer on Medication
• Worker Safety
