Workshops for Schools & Local Organizations
For our clinicians, this work is our life’s passion. And we really enjoy sharing our work with as many stakeholders as possible. It’s important for caregivers, teachers, school staff, fellow clinicians, and adults with children in their lives to learn how to better interact with and respond to a child’s emotional state. Luckily for us, we have a robust team with a wide array of areas of expertise.
