FREE Training!
We're excited to be able to give our members access to an incredible training opportunity! The Infant Mental Health Promotion (IMPH) team at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto is offering a 15-part training in infant mental health. Normally, this training is $1,600 for members of IMPH, and $2,000 for non-members. This training is FREE for agencies funded by CAPC or CPNP!
IMHP has also generously agreed to let our non-CAPC and CPNP members have access to it at a huge discount: we are making this training available to FRP-BC members for $160.
The fee gets you access to the training for unlimited staff at your agency. Please contact Ramsay at researcher@frpbc.ca if you are interested in registering. We only have a limited number of spots for our members, so act quickly!
The training is online, so it is great for agencies in rural or isolated areas. Find more information about the training here.

"You are not alone – if you feel like your family is the only family or you are defective or did it all wrong, it is not true. There is so much stigma that keeps people quiet and it keeps us feeling isolated."
Check out Dr. Vanessa Lapointe's blog post this month, where she interviews Ann Douglas, author of Parenting Through the Storm--a book that guides parents through the very emotional and challenging times of a child being diagnosed and treated for mental health, neuro-developmental, or behavioral challenges.
