Trainings and Learning Center Meetings are offered periodically throughout the year for our partnering homeless providers on topics of interest to caregivers and child advocates. HCEF provides these professional development opportunities at no cost to the participants.

Kristie Guthrie (Licensed Professional Counselor, Hope Counseling Services) has presented trainings to homeless housing staff on several of the childhood disorders they may encounter in their work. With each training she asks participants to complete a survey of their level of knowledge about the topic of the training. Kathie also has discussed with participants the self-care tips that can help professionals avoid burnout.

Quarterly Learning Center meetings provide an ongoing outlet for sharing information, engaging in group problem-solving, and networking with representatives of local institutions and organizations offering educational outreach opportunities for children and youth.
