Presentations and keynote addresses have been provided for in-services, workshops, and conferences in BC, AB, and SK regarding the neurobehavioural development of children. Pro Bono evening workshops are also offered to parents in the West Kootenay region on a regular basis throughout the year. These are generally facilitated through the kindness and generosity of other invested community organizations.
In addition, Devon provides training for professionals, paraprofessionals, and parents in suicide intervention (Living Works: ASIST). He also supports parents and teachers in learning to problem-solve with their children in collaborative and conflict-free ways (Ross Greene: Collaborative and Proactive Solutions).
Beyond the education, experience, and specialized training received over the years, Devon also takes great pride in being a husband and father. Family time is a valuable and essential part of his life. Learning and practicing the things that he teaches, with his own children and companion allows for a deeper and more rich experience for both Devon and the clients that he works with.
