PARTNERS AND PROFESSIONAL CONNECTIONS
Event and Speaking Partners
Thrivers Speak® works with aligned professionals, survivor-led initiatives, and community partners who help place adult survivor intelligence in rooms where it can inform training, research, advocacy, and public education.
SPEAKING SUPPORT
Speaking Success Secrets, LLC
Jeannie Russo supports speaking-opportunity strategy and professional speaker outreach for Dawn McCarty and Thrivers Speak®-aligned work.
Connecting Survivor-Informed Expertise With the Right Rooms
Speaking Success Secrets, LLC helps support the professional side of speaker placement, outreach, and opportunity development. This partnership helps Thrivers Speak® move beyond a website presence and into conferences, panels, trainings, podcasts, and professional spaces where survivor-informed expertise can change the conversation.
For invitations involving Dawn McCarty, Dr. Alyse Price-Tobler, or joint applied-and-academic presentations, the speaker inquiry forms remain the best starting point.
COMMUNITY AND DONATION PATHWAYS
Kids Need Both
Kids Need Both is a nonprofit organization supporting families, parent-child bonds, and education around family separation and related harm. Dawn McCarty serves on the Kids Need Both Board of Directors and has helped publish collaborative books that can support advocacy, conference outreach, legislative conversations, and professional education.
Board Service and Publishing Support
Through her board service, publishing support, and collaborative authorship work, Dawn helps Kids Need Both develop resources that families, advocates, speakers, and professionals can bring into rooms where family-court trauma, child psychological abuse, coercive control, and parent-child disconnection are being discussed.
Kids Need Both may also provide a 501(c)(3) pathway for tax-deductible support when a specific Thrivers Speak® initiative or conference partnership requires a nonprofit donation option.
Donation and Fiscal Partnership Pathways
When nonprofit support is available for a conference, publication, or survivor-representation effort, supporters will see clear instructions about where the gift goes and which partner receives it.
That makes the giving path easier to understand, especially when tax-deductible support is offered through a trusted nonprofit partner.
COLLABORATIVE BOOKS
Building Bridges of Hope
Dawn helped Kids Need Both publish two collaborative books in the Building Bridges of Hope series. Both books became #1 bestselling new releases and can serve as professional conversation-starters for conferences, legislative outreach, advocacy tables, and survivor-informed education.
Overcoming Trauma in Family Law Cases
This first volume brings together professionals and lived-experience advocates to examine family-court trauma, child psychological abuse, coercive control, separation, advocacy, and pathways toward reform and repair.

Strengthening Co-Parenting and Family Bonds

Partnerships help survivor-led work move from private experience into public education, conference rooms, legislative conversations, professional training, and resources that families and practitioners can actually use. Thrivers Speak® welcomes aligned partners who understand that representation, preparation, publishing, and professional access all matter.
