"This was an excellent training course, largely because of the presenter's ability to draw attendees into discussion and sharing."
All workshops will be tailored to the population (clients, employees, foster/adoptive parents) and needs of an organization or group. Workshops can be adapted to ½ day or full day sessions. Some ½ day workshops can be with combined to make a full day of training. Renay will also work with the organization or group to develop new workshops to meet training needs.
