difficult issues.

This session will prepare participants to present this entire model program including “Don’t Flush the Goldfish,” in their own communities and organizations. It is Midwest Care Alliance’s intention to invite trainers to consider being “ambassadors” for this project in their regions as requests for Bobby’s Books education arise. Participants will receive all the resources they will need to ensure success in promoting and implementing this program.
