These workshops will update your knowledge and teach you new tools to use right away.

The facilitator’s teaching techniques and the rich and enjoyable learning environment encouraged the involvement of all participants, with respect, and a lot of fun.  A lot new information yet not overwhelming due to the facilitation. I came up with almost 80 % of what was presented.

This was a very rich environment due to professional diversity including professors, doctors, social workers, and others.
