Engaging People Where They Are is a free, in-person training designed for professionals working in helping roles across Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough Counties.

This event is for anyone whose work centers on supporting others, including foster parents, probation officers, teachers, case workers, and other helping professionals.
