I've spoken at a number of conferences as Keynote and breakout/workshop Speaker. Conferences including: INCM's Children's Pastor's Conference, Orange Conference, Christian Alliance for Orphans Summit (CAFO), D6 Family Conference, KidzMatter, Replanted, Disability & the Church, and GEMS Summit. I also support churches with trainings for kids and student ministry teams as well as schools and nonprofits. Audiences include kids and student ministry staff and volunteers, parents, women's/mom's groups and adoptive/foster/kinship parents.
Kim speaks and trains on the following topics:
Kim joined Esther Moreno on her podcast, The Wakeup Call in Children's Ministry to talk about creating kids ministries for EVERY child.
Disability and the Church Conference 2024: Parents of kids with disabilities or kids who have experienced trauma often leave the church because they either don't feel welcome, or they are told the church is unable to accommodate their child. By raising awareness of invisible disabilities and the affects of trauma, the church can provide a safer and more welcoming environment for all kids. When one child is turned away, the church misses the opportunity to disciple and care for a whole family. Helping the church be more curious, instead of making assumptions based on a child's behavior can have huge impact.

When it comes to children who have experienced trauma, it can take more than love to give them the support they need most.
Sometimes you just have to jump in.
