Speaking & Training
Practical, compassionate presentations that help people understand mental health and take meaningful action.
Most people don’t realize how unresolved mental health challenges shape daily life at work, at home, and in relationships. As a professional speaker, I help audiences make those connections and discover pathways to support, healing, and stronger wellbeing. My presentations blend clinical expertise with real-world applications that are useful long after the session ends.

About Trish Adams, LCSW
I bring over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker across healthcare organizations and private practice. I’ve seen how stress, trauma, burnout, and unaddressed mental health needs ripple through workplaces and communities.
Whether I’m speaking to HR professionals about trauma-informed cultures, helping leaders understand the hidden costs of unaddressed mental health challenges, or guiding organizations through crisis response, my approach stays consistent: practical, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practice.
I’ve presented for municipal teams, professional women’s groups, and healthcare organizations. My goal is always the same: leave your audience not just informed, but equipped.
