I am always so grateful for the folks who attend Meraki-Minded webinars. As I look back on 2020, there have been many challenges, but I have been beyond amazed by the commitment and tenacity of the mental health professionals, early childhood educators, and other pediatric specialists I’ve met this year.
Thank you all for what you do and for who you are.
Meraki-Minded Professional Development is facilitating two webinars in January. This is the start of the 2021 IPMH Training Series. These classes can be taken individually or part of the IPMH Series (26 total training hours). This is a great way to start your journey into the world of IPMH.
As a thank you to anyone reading this post, I offer you 50% ($20) off the first webinar (see below). Hope to see you there!
