Currently Requesting Train-the-Trainer Workshop Abstracts
submission deadline May 1, 2015
The UNM New Mexico Child Abuse Prevention Partnership Summit in October will inspire and equip participants with skills and strategies to strengthen families, prevent child abuse, and ensure children’s healthy development. Our target audience is people from varying backgrounds including, but not limited to: peer coaches, educators, medical professionals, Child Protective Services, daycare providers, law makers, caregivers, community based groups, and government agencies.
We are seeking workshop abstracts that focus on developing the knowledge, expertise, and skill-sets needed by community providers in today’s complex environment. Preference is given to presentations that are highly interactive, including strategies to engage the audience and provide participants with new skills and learning they can put to immediate use in their jobs, homes, and communities.
We will provide continuing education credits for as many of the workshops as possible.
