For over 50 years, CALM has prided itself in being a learning organization, investing continuously in staff training to ensure we maintain excellence in clinical practice and remain current in our area of expertise. We strive to continually expand our capacity and that of our community partners, to create a future in which every family is supported and every child thrives. We are available to speak to diverse audiences including, but not limited to: preschool to high school-aged children, teachers, parents, coaches, service clubs, PTAs, and businesses and community organizations. Trainings can be tailored to meet the needs of each group.

These efforts are in line with several of CALM’s Core Values of promoting evidence-based practices and collaborating with community partners.  As such, we are proud to support the learning endeavors of others in our community via trainings that can be tailored to specific needs or areas of focus.
