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.
