Community Webinars
Mental health support should feel more accessible, more human, and more connected to real life.

At Turning Stone Counseling, we believe therapy and mental health education should not only happen inside the therapy room.
While individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and specialized treatment can be incredibly meaningful, we also know that not everyone is ready for therapy, has access to therapy, or needs ongoing clinical support in order to benefit from learning more about emotional wellness, relationships, parenting, stress, grief, anxiety, communication, and personal growth.
That is why we offer pay-as-you-go mental health webinars.These webinars are designed to provide accessible, practical, and compassionate education on topics that matter to individuals, couples, parents, families, helping professionals, and community members. Each webinar offers a focused learning experience that gives you tools, language, insight, and reflection points you can use in your everyday life.Our goal is simple: to make mental health information easier to access, easier to understand, and easier to apply.
Whether you are looking for support around anxiety, parenting, relationships, burnout, grief, emotional regulation, communication, self-discovery, or life transitions, our webinars give you a place to begin.
Why We Offer Mental Health Webinars
We know that many people are searching for support long before they ever reach out for therapy.
You may be reading books, listening to podcasts, following mental health accounts, talking with friends, or trying to figure things out on your own. You may know something needs to shift, but you may not be sure what kind of support you need yet. Or maybe therapy is not financially, emotionally, or logistically possible right now.
Mental health webinars can help bridge that gap.They are not a replacement for therapy, and they are not intended to provide individualized clinical treatment. But they can offer education, grounding, perspective, and tools that help you better understand yourself and the people you care about.
Sometimes, learning the language for what you are experiencing is the first step toward change.
A webinar may help you recognize patterns in your relationships. It may help you better understand your child’s behavior. It may give you a new way to think about anxiety, burnout, or boundaries. It may help you feel less alone. It may also help you decide whether therapy, coaching, consultation, or another form of support would be helpful for you.
At Turning Stone Counseling, we value learning and growth. We also value accessibility, creativity, inclusivity, and authentic connection. Our webinars allow us to bring those values into the larger community by creating spaces where people can learn, reflect, and engage with mental health topics in a more flexible way.
Mental Health Education Should Be Practical
One of the reasons we created these webinars is because mental health education can sometimes feel overwhelming, clinical, or disconnected from daily life.
You may hear terms like nervous system regulation, attachment, cognitive distortions, boundaries, emotional flooding, trauma responses, intrusive thoughts, or burnout — but not always know what those words actually mean for you, your relationship, your family, or your day-to-day choices.
Our webinars are designed to make mental health topics feel understandable and usable. We want you to leave with something tangible. That may be a new framework, a reflection exercise, a communication tool, a parenting strategy, a worksheet, a list of questions to consider, or simply a clearer understanding of what may be happening beneath the surface.
We believe people do better when they understand what is happening inside of them and around them. When you understand the “why” behind your stress response, you may feel less ashamed of your reactions. When you understand how conflict cycles work, you may feel more empowered to change the conversation. When you understand what anxiety is trying to do, you may have more compassion for yourself. When you understand how children and teens communicate distress through behavior, you may respond with more clarity and less reactivity.
Good mental health education does not shame people. It helps people make sense of their experiences.That is the purpose of these webinars.
Why Pay-As-You-Go?
We chose a pay-as-you-go model because we wanted our webinars to feel flexible, accessible, and community-centered.
Many mental health trainings, workshops, and courses are priced in a way that makes them difficult for people to access. Others require a large commitment before someone even knows whether the topic, presenter, or format is the right fit for them.Pay-as-you-go allows you to choose the webinars that are most relevant to your life right now.
You do not have to commit to a long series. You do not have to purchase a large program.
You do not have to wait until things feel “bad enough” to seek support.
You can simply choose the topic that speaks to you, register, attend, and take what is helpful.
This model also honors the reality that mental health needs change over time. One season of life may call for learning about grief. Another may call for parenting support. Another may call for relationship tools, stress management, or support around burnout and boundaries.
Pay-as-you-go allows you to access education as your needs shift. It also allows us to offer webinars at different price points depending on the topic, length, audience, and format. Some webinars may be brief and introductory. Others may be longer and more skills-based. Some may be designed for individuals or couples, while others may focus on parents, caregivers, clinicians, or community members.
The heart of this model is choice. You get to decide what feels useful, timely, and supportive for you.
Why 50% Goes to Charity
At Turning Stone Counseling, we believe mental health is deeply connected to community care.
Healing does not happen in isolation. People are shaped by their relationships, families, schools, workplaces, neighborhoods, identities, resources, and access to support. When communities are under-resourced, people carry more stress. When people feel disconnected, unsupported, unsafe, or unseen, mental health suffers.
Because of this, we wanted our webinar model to reflect something bigger than education alone. For each pay-as-you-go webinar, 50% of proceeds will be donated to our Charity of the Year.
This means that when you register for a webinar, you are not only investing in your own learning and growth. You are also contributing to an organization doing meaningful work in the community.
We chose this structure because it reflects our belief that mental health support should extend beyond the walls of our practice. While therapy is one important form of care, community organizations, advocacy groups, crisis supports, shelters, schools, nonprofits, and local resource networks also play a vital role in helping people feel safer, supported, and connected.
By donating 50% of webinar proceeds, we hope to create a model that supports both individual learning and collective care. It is one way we can use education to give back. It is also one way we can invite our community to participate in something meaningful.
Every registration helps create a ripple effect. You learn something that may support your life, relationship, family, or work — and part of your registration supports a cause that aligns with care, dignity, access, and healing.
Community Care Is Mental Health Care
Mental health is not only about coping skills.
Coping skills matter. Therapy matters. Emotional regulation matters. Communication matters. But so do food security, housing stability, safety, inclusion, access to healthcare, social support, education, and belonging.
When people do not have access to basic support, their mental health is impacted. When families are navigating financial strain, discrimination, grief, violence, caregiving stress, isolation, or lack of resources, mental health becomes harder to sustain.This is why we view community care as part of mental health care.
Our pay-as-you-go webinars allow us to offer practical education while also supporting organizations that are working to meet real needs. Each year, we will select a Charity of the Year that reflects our values and contributes to the well-being of individuals, families, or communities.
Some years, this may be an organization focused on youth or families. Other years, it may be an organization supporting survivors, mental health access, grief support, food security, housing, LGBTQ+ communities, first responders, veterans, maternal mental health, or another cause connected to emotional wellness and human dignity.
Our intention is to be thoughtful, transparent, and values-aligned in the organizations we support.
What You Can Expect From Our Webinars
Our webinars are created to be approachable, educational, and grounded in real-life application.
Depending on the topic, a webinar may include teaching, reflection questions, practical tools, guided exercises, examples, worksheets, or space for general questions. While these webinars are educational and not therapy, they are developed through a mental health-informed lens.
You can expect our webinars to be:
Accessible and easy to understand
We aim to explain mental health concepts in clear, human language.
Practical and applicable
Our goal is for you to leave with ideas or tools you can use in your daily life.

Some webinars may be ideal for individuals who want to better understand themselves. Others may be helpful for couples, parents, caregivers, or professionals. Each webinar description will clearly explain who the topic is designed for and what you can expect to learn.
What These Webinars Are Not
Because we are a mental health practice, we also want to be clear about the purpose and limits of these webinars.
Our webinars are educational. They are not therapy, group therapy, crisis support, or individualized clinical consultation. Attending a webinar does not create a therapist-client relationship with Turning Stone Counseling or with the presenter.
Webinars are not intended to diagnose, treat, or replace care from a licensed mental health professional. If you are experiencing significant distress, safety concerns, ongoing symptoms, relationship crisis, trauma symptoms, or mental health concerns that interfere with daily life, individual therapy or another appropriate clinical service may be a better fit.
If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 911, go to your nearest emergency room, or contact a crisis resource such as 988 for immediate support.
We offer these webinars as a way to increase education, awareness, and access to tools — not as a substitute for clinical care.
Our Charity of the Year
Each year, Turning Stone Counseling selects a Charity of the Year to receive 50% of proceeds from our pay-as-you-go mental health webinars.
Our Charity of the Year is chosen because its mission aligns with our values of authentic connection, inclusivity, active listening, creativity, learning, and growth. We look for organizations that are helping individuals, families, or communities access meaningful support, safety, dignity, care, or healing.
This year, our selected charity is:
Pro Bono Counseling Project
Pro Bono Counseling provides connects Marylanders with mental health care by helping people access support when cost, insurance, or other barriers make coounseling difficult to reach.
We chose Pro Bono Counseling Project because their mission reflects the kind of community care we believe in and reflects the heart of this webinar series. Their work reminds us that emotional wellness is not only built through individual effort, but also through systems of support, compassion, and connection.
By attending one of our pay-as-you-go webinars, you are helping support this work. Fifty percent of webinar proceeds will be donated to Pro Bono Counseling Project throughout the year. We are honored to use our educational offerings as one small way to contribute to their mission.
