Family Driven Practice Training for Providers

This session supports providers in any system (for example, mental health, health, education, child protection, juvenile justice) who work with families to understand what family-driven practice is and how it benefits families, children, providers and systems as a whole.

Although the training is focused on providers, families are always encouraged to attend our sessions and we encourage providers to invite families to the session as well.
