Hi everyone
Hope that you had an awesome Labour Day long weekend.
Here’s the link to the September Update from CLBC.
Have a great rest of the week!
CLBC Update for Individuals and Families
Behavioural Support Training – Kootenays
From Cari at CLBC (Thanks!)
“Hi, Please find attached the CLBC free online Behavioural training that is being offered for Fall 2022.
CLBC encourages service providers to make the time for their staff & encourage home share providers to attend these workshops.
Training is the first step to building capacity within the community, and last year we found that the service providers with the lowest attendance were also the ones who struggled the most with supporting individuals with challenging situations. This is also a cost effective way to train staff as well as it is online.
There is a full year of workshops planned, and this is just the beginning! Service providers can go to the website to register their staff members at https://pivotpoint.ca/calendar/
If you have any questions please connect with Kymberley through Pivot Point.
Thank you so much.”
