DESCRIPTION:

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Participants will:

• Develop greater empathy and understanding related to distress

This Creating Calm training will include the typical didactic material with an additional 2 sessions included in the series for the purpose of active dialogue and exploration of the unique needs and experiences of the HHRI staff.
