Topics that we're offering include "A Comprehensive Understanding of Attachment and What to do when Attachment is Broken" and "Pro-Active and Child-Centered Strategies for Working with Behaviorally Challenging Children."

For a list of other workshops we can offer please log onto our website: www.childadvocacyandresearch.org.

The Center has been offering these and other workshops for the past year or so at various sites throughout the State. We decided that it might be more convenient (and more cost-effective) for the agencies if we come directly to you. Having been in the field for the better part of two decades, I know that both time and money can be scarce at times so I'm hoping this opportunity will help with both.
