Consulting Services are designed to support individuals, communities, and organizations and encourage transformational change. Three main areas of consultation that Dr. CC engages in are: Parenting Workshops, Spokesperson Training, and School and Educational Consulting.
Parenting Workshops
Parenting workshops are delivered in educational, medical, and community-based settings. They focus on raising awareness about key developmental milestones from infancy through adolescence. Workshop collaborations involve consulting with organizations to develop a curriculum that captures key experiences among participating parents (e.g., building a positive relationship with your teen, supporting eating mindfulness, trying to balance work and family responsibilities). Dr. CC has worked with not-for-profit and for-profit organizations providing informational and skill-building parenting advice and learning experiences. Parenting workshops facilitate:
Parenting skills
Knowledge of child and adolescent development
Home-school-community partnerships
Parent/child engagement
Mental health awareness
Eating mindfulness
Self-care and well-being
Spokesperson Training
Public speaking is one of the greatest fears that people have in life. It can be anxiety-provoking to present in front of a group, and even more so when speaking with the media. Spokesperson Training is designed to address these understandable fears and provide hands-on skill-building. Dr. CC has provided spokesperson training to school systems and school personnel across the country. She has also worked with chefs and restaurateurs, helping them cultivate media messages related to food and dining. Spokesperson Training works with participants to:
