Most importantly, participants will learn what not to do in response to difficult behaviors. This training is suitable for parents and professionals alike!
This training is open to First 5 partners, therapeutic and related service providers, and parents! CEUs available for LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs and LEPs, as required by the CA Board of Behavioral Sciences.
