Cherry Creek Presbyterian Community Life Center

Join fellow parents and caregivers to learn and connect at this educational conference. We’ll enjoy a keynote address on the power of storytelling and then go into breakout rooms to hear from a local expert and discuss various cleft-related topics at this welcoming, relaxed conference.

All types of caregivers are welcome to attend, but we hope you’ll take advantage of this time away from the kids to focus and grow. We will not have childcare available.

Each ticket includes snacks, coffee, and lunch.

Event Highlights...

Keynote Address

The Power of Storytelling: Everyone Deserves to Be Heard
Kyle Dyer, former broadcast journalist and owner of Kyle Dyer Storytelling

About Kyle
Kyle Dyer served as an anchor for 9NEWS from 1996 to 2016. While on air in 2012, she was attacked by a dog and had to have her mouth sewn shut for 10 days, during which time she was unable to speak. This gave her a perspective on the power of being able to tell your story. Kyle has a unique connection to the world of facial differences after experiencing that trauma and the months of reconstructive surgery and mental and physical recovery.
