No competitor in the Des Moines area currently offers or promotes mental health seminars and trainings. Heart & Vine Counseling fills that gap — bringing practical, evidence-based mental health education directly to the organizations and communities that need it most.
Whether you're a school administrator looking for staff training, a church leader wanting to equip your congregation, an HR professional building a healthier workplace, or a community organization serving families — I can design and deliver a seminar that meets your people where they are.
