It's an honor to partner with top speakers and trainers to provide FREE workshops those meeting the needs of kids from hard places. We encourage parents and providers to attend these workshops live on Zoom so you can engage with our speakers and ask specific questions during the Q&A time.
Resource parents will receive certificates for 1 hour of parent training if they attend the course live. If you are not able to attend the workshop online, a video recording of the session along with any notes will be sent out the morning after each course.
