Conferences & Presentations

presentation at young adult program

Our team regularly represents our young adult transitional living program at conferences and symposiums.

 

Conferences are a great opportunity to share about the work we do with emerging young adults and to continue education in the clinical field. We love to connect with industry professionals and other programs that align with our ethos too!

 

Cornerstones of Maine is a member of the National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs and the Young Adult Transition Association. Aside from continued learning, we welcome opportunities to share our knowledge and expertise at conferences and panels. A list of some of the topics we have presented on over the years are below.
