Over the past several years, Adam has spoken hundreds of times to many organizations (including the school districts of Naperville, Plainfield, Bolingbrook, Lisle, Wheaton, IL) and the Illinois Association of School Workers about how to best motivate, discipline, and challenge young people so they may thrive in their adult life.  He was a speaker at TEDx Naperville on The Importance of Failure, and wrote a book called Unwritten Rules: Real Strategies to Parent Your Child into a Successful Adult that is available on iBooks and Amazon.

Edgewood offers counseling services to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families as well as medication management (through an MD), group therapy, psychological assessments, workshops, anger management assessments and counseling, substance abuse assessments and counseling, and Continuing Education for mental health professionals.
