Angela gives a powerful presentation on why YOUR life matters. Best presented as a workshop that includes mental health at a glance, understanding suicide, suicide risk factors, warning signs for adults/teens, and how to start a conversation with someone experiencing suicidal ideation. Participants leave this workshop with increased knowledge about mental health, suicide, and self-care. Suicide prevention safety planning included per request. 

Angela is the Author of A Kids Book About™ Suicide. This book was designed to help navigate a conversation about suicide. It is most helpful to the kid who has lost someone to suicide or is struggling with suicidal ideation.  It brings a challenging but needed topic to the classroom. Best presented as a book reading but can be tailored to a workshop or panelist guest.

She has now established an annual Mother's Day event. Angela discusses the resilience it took turn a personal tragedy into serving others.  

Developing a scholarship is a passion many of us share. Angela has developed and awarded over five scholarships for public health students and domestic violence survivors. Angela has also led others on their path of scholarship development in their respective fields. In either a one on one session or workshop setting, have Angela take you step by step on how to excel in scholarship development. 

Getting to this stage of life didn’t come without hard work and a great support system. Angela discusses the importance of not only education but mentorship. Education will equip you with the skill set but mentors will get you in the door. She will discuss the significance of both and how if you invest in each of these how far in life you can go. 

Angela created Sisters in Public Health as a platform for women at her university to share a common space to discuss being a woman in the health field. This safe space is an environment to talk about being a woman in leadership, self-care, breaking down barriers, and overcoming life’s challenges. This workshop will discuss how to still be of service and create balance at the same time. Best presented as a workshop but can be tailored to a keynote or panelist guest.
