The explosion of text messaging, internet use, portable video, social networking websites, and cyber universes is having a profound effect on an entire generation of children and young adults.  “Plugged In” is a workshop that explores research regarding the neurological, personal, and relational impact of overuse of technology and gives information about how to make an intentional “technology use plan” that optimizes positive effects and minimizes potential risks in all three areas.  This workshop is appropriate for any and all individuals working and/or living with children and youth. It is a  free seminar on Friday, Nov 13th from 9am-12pm at Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church. Three CEUs will be offered for LCSWs and LCPCs.  RSVP Sara.J.Haimes@biola.edu.

The new blog of Heritage Professional Associates is now open! This blog contains more practical advice and information about what to do about a variety of issues.

Heritage Professional Associates is pleased to announce the launch of a new website with an integrated HPA Blog to better serve our clients and the general public interested in mental health care resources.

The new site was re-designed and is managed by the Chicago Web Design company, Headstand Media, along with search engine optimization and web marketing services. A WordPress content management system is used to enable HPA to enter new blog posts and articles.
