One of the things I hear SO often when supervising interns, residents and the RPT™ in training is how hard it can be to work with parents.
As a parent myself, I often find myself cheering on the parents. Why? Because PARENTING IS HARD.
In this training, you will explore tangible ways to communicate with parents to make the relationship easier to manage, full of trust and (hopefully!) respect. We will then weave these tricks of the trade into working with families as well.

🍎 An exam with a passing score of 80% is required for all Virtual Live Webinar & Home Study CEs. Participants may re-take the exam if needed until a passing score of 80% is achieved.

👩🏻💻 Live trainings are video recorded. All who sign up for and participate in live in person or live webinar trainings consent to being video recorded. Participants will have access to the recordings after the event for future reference and are made available for Home Study purchase by others.
Because some live events include private discussion groups, art projects and other activities, some home study recordings will offer a smaller CE value than the original live course.
