Keeping pace in an ever-changing field can be extremely overwhelming. I don’t have enough time to read research and keep up on the latest trends. This course is an awesome mix of evidence, lived experience & practical info. I knew there was a better way, but now I know exactly what I need to do to make a few small shifts. I can’t wait to start using what I learned. Thank you!!!!
