Heart of the Matter Seminars
Since 1998 Heart of the Matter Seminars has been providing engaging, informative and empowering educational experiences with a focus on children who are at-risk.

Adoption Education
Founders Julie Drew and Katie Prigel Sharp saw the need for research based education that put practical tools into the hands of adoptive parents. Believing that most children adopted internationally or through foster care experience mild to moderate issues, Heart of the Matter Seminars seeks to "prepare, not scare" families embarking on their parenting journeys.

Professional Development for Educators
Heart of the Matter Seminars is pleased to offer professional development opportunities for educators who work with at-risk children.
