The Miller-Dwan Foundation and Women Leading Change invite you to join us for an evening to inspire and be inspired. Duluth child and adolescent psychologist and author, Rick Gertsema, will speak on his new book, Peaceful and Practical Parenting. Gertsema’s talk will highlight areas of child development, stages of parenting, communication, and discipline via his extensive clinical experience with children and families. Guests will leave with new, insightful, and practical ideas on how to parent, with the belief that through the family rules of love, respect, and honesty, all things are possible.
We’re hosting the event as a fundraiser for our Turning Point Campaign to build a mental health and wellness center here in Duluth for children, adolescents, and young adults—and their families—who are struggling with mental health issues.
The Women Leading Change event will be held on September 16 at 5 p.m. in the Greysolon Ballroom at 231 East Superior Street. The cost to attend is $30 and includes dinner, the program, and Gertsema’s book. Pre-registration is required by September 13 and can be completed online (click here) or by calling 218-786-5829.

About Women Leading Change:
Women have the power to drive change, and we can’t wait to see what they have in store for us. The Women Leading Change initiative is about gathering women together to wrap their arms around pressing community issues and advocate for positive change. Our first project is to build a bold vision for mental health care that will provide our young people and their families with a warm, home-like place to find the right care, at the right time. Join other ambitious, intelligent and inspiring women in our area to take bold steps and create change.
