1) Providing training on home visiting strategies and tools such as HOVRS and PICCOLO in a variety of formats, from brief consulting to multi-week virtual training via ZOOM or live full-day workshops.
Training sessions include presentations, video observations, reflections, discussions, polls, and readings.

Why we do it…

We do this by providing training and materials that are effective, nurturing, and beautiful.
