This webinar is intended for consumers, family members and providers.

Training to become a Parents Meeting the Challenge Teacher

June 27, 2013 (tentative date)

The Parents Meeting the Challenge Teacher Training - is a 4 part series that will prepare volunteers, who are parents/primary caregivers of children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral disorders, to teach this 8-session program in their community. This model of “families helping families” is very effective and has been successful in New Hampshire and across the country. Teachers are partnered with other trained PMC teachers in presenting this course and NAMI NH continues to provide materials, technical support and ongoing training.

If you are interested in teaching the Parents Meeting the Challenges series in your community, we will be offering the free teacher training in the Lakes Region and in the Concord area in June.
