CARE training includes an educational component and active practice for general use by adults who interact with children of all ages in various settings.

Adults who are clinicians will benefit from the training, and those in roles such as receptionist, preschool teacher, daycare provider, medical provider, parent, or foster parent.

CARE training also contains techniques for giving children effective commands and a set of selective ignoring techniques to redirect problematic behaviors.

Sessions are available Thursday, December 8, 2022 with your choice of two sessions at 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
