On Thursday, April 30, 2020 @ 7 PM - 8:30 PM, we will
              begin our virtual series with the topic: 
 
We will address the emotional and mental challenges
              facing our children, coping mechanisms, and how to identify
              warning signs when children are in emotional and mental danger.
              We will also explore the challenges and solutions for parents to
              manage an IEP and educate their children during this pandemic. |  |

Y. Mimi Ryans is the Owner/Therapist at Lighthouse
              Center for Therapy & Play. For the past decade, she has made
              it her lifework to provide quality mental health services to
              children and families either experiencing mental health crises or
              those with specific mental health needs. In the last few years,
              it has become more evident to Ms. Ryans that the focus on trauma
              when addressing children’s mental health needs is imperative to
              their healing and completing their treatment. It’s important to
              explore not only the presentation, but the “why” behind it. 
In 2013, she incorporated Lighthouse Center for
              Therapy & Play to offer mental health services for children,
              adolescents, adults, and families. At Lighthouse Center for
              Therapy & Play, the mission is to provide hope and healing to
              children and families...Read More>>
