Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE) Training
Encompass is offering a Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE) Training on Tuesday, September 25 at Snoqualmie Valley Hospital. The CARE training is from 9:00 am-12:00 pm ($100), and there is an advanced CARE & facilitator training from 9:00 am-4:00 pm ($850).
CARE is a trauma-informed way for any adult to interact with any child or teen. It seeks to increase positive child-adult interaction, child compliance, and child engagement. CARE uses ideas and skills derived from evidence-based, positive parenting programs. CARE is not therapy but can complement ongoing therapeutic services.
