This training is specially designed to take away that uncertainty and give you the confidence that you need.

By the end of this training, you’ll feel confident, protected, and ready to report – without losing the trust and compassion at the heart of your work.
Don’t let fear guide your decisions. Join us and walk away with the clarity and tools to protect kids and yourself in practice.
