“Creating space to learn, connect, and thrive.”

At the Mending Forge, I offer professional development workshops designed to equip individuals and organizations with practical tools and a deeper understanding of mental health. These workshops are warm, interactive, and grounded in evidence-based practices—making learning both engaging and meaningful.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

​

• Understanding children’s behavior through the lens of neural regulation and relational safety

• Play It Forward Parenting: HOLD

• The importance of self-care and healthy boundary setting

• Sandtray therapy and its practical applications

• Ethics in clinical practice

• Guidance on the LMSW/LCSW journey for graduate students and new clinicians using the Rookie2LCSW platform

• Intervention training for those pursuing a career in mental health

​

Whether you are a student, educator, clinician, or community leader, my goal is to create learning experiences that inspire growth, compassion, and confidence.

I would love to connect with you and discuss your training needs for your organization, school, or practice. 

 

With Gratitide,

Edith Appleton, LCSW
