Two identities. One kid. Are you ready to hold both? This isn't your average refresher. We're going deep on where LGBTQIA2S+ identity and child welfare systems collide: the double disclosures, the compounded losses, the Minnesota/North Dakota legal patchwork your families are actually navigating. Expect real talk, real data, and a hands-on tool you can use. Come brave and leave equipped.

As founder of Intersectional Resources, LLC, Katherine partners with organizations on transformative training in diversity, inclusion, and implicit bias, helping institutions move values into lasting change. In her clinical practice at Dachtler Therapy, PLLC, she offers culturally responsive, adoption-humble care rooted in affirming historically excluded identities, including LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and families.
