Kia ora,
I’ve enjoyed being out on the road again training in South Taranaki and Whanganui.
In October I presented Legal Information for Caregivers and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. Coming up for training; online Keeping Memories and Understanding National Care Standards will be available in November and I will be presenting Identity & Belonging in December.
To register for one, or all, of our upcoming trainings, click the button below! These trainings are a great opportunity to further your skills as a caregiver and to meet other caregivers.
