If travel and time differences have ever been an obstacle, we are pleased to offer a Pacific, Mountain, and Central time zone friendly session of The Essentials!

Each student will receive an Essentials Student Home Care Box, equipped with everything you will need for the week!

Even though we've gone completely virtual, the same expert training team will teach you the tools needed to provide crisis intervention to individuals who have experienced trauma.

Enhance your skills with group practice role-play sessions with trained coaches. You will receive individual coaching and feedback to ensure that you are comfortable translating the knowledge learned during this session into practical applications!

Note: Participants are encouraged to register prior to September 18th to ensure that the Essentials Student Home Care Box arrives prior to the first day of the session.
