About Me

Shirley A. Fry, M.Ed.

Author, Motivational Speaker, Teacher and Coach

I am a retired teacher who has spent most of the last decade teaching parenting classes for the local courts. My job also included motivational speaking and mediation. Currently, I am working with local churches and schools leading parenting groups. As Covid19 restrictions lift, I look forward to speaking for local groups and businesses on topics related to parenting issues, problem solving, and improving communication skills as well as mental health topics such as suicide, signs of depression, and mindfulness .

My undergraduate degree is in elementary education and early childhood development; my masters is in counseling. I am a trained mediator and a facilitator for both Bridges Out of Poverty and Parent Project.
