Webinar Objectives:

The rapidly evolving and unprecedented challenges of COVID-19 are requiring us to think differently as we shape approaches to everything from workforce management to care delivery models.  Social distancing, virtual working, self-isolation, and the other CDC recommendations will impact your organization and care delivery, as well as the mental well-being of your clients and staff. 

Due to the extraordinary times we are all experiencing, we wanted to provide Prevention Plus Wellness providers who are currently using our programs and have received Program Implementer training with free upgraded digital downloads allowing presentation of your program live online.

La adolescencia es uno de los períodos más dramáticos del desarrollo humano. Además de someterse a importantes cambios físicos, los adolescentes continúan desarrollando su identidad, que está formada por el medio ambiente y las importantes relaciones que mantienen.

We had some problems with the YouTube video link so here it is in Zoom.
