Professional Development Opportunities

Atlantic Prevention Resources (APR) is sponsoring a FREE Educator Academy with Frank Kros. The webinars will cover a variety of topics on trauma responsive care, childhood adversity, substance misuse in and around a student, depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc. Frank Kros, MSW, JD, is a visionary child advocate, educator, and consultant with a deep commitment to trauma and resilience. Please see the link below for more information on the next webinar in the series. Here is the link to register- www.capeassist.org/EducatorAcademy. APR will have access to the recordings for two months after each webinar. So, you could watch it later if that works better for your schedule, but you’d still need to register so APR could send the recording to you.
