If you are looking to increase knowledge, skills, and awareness through workshops, training or coaching look no further! The Psychosocial Rehabilitation Supervisors Workshop I attended was awesome! The material was presented actively and engagingly. The experience was insightful and continues to influence my professional development regularly. I have since returned to attend several pieces of training and have never been disappointed!
