The 2022-2023 CCFH Didactic Seminar Series begins this September! Offered by CCFH Training Services, this series focuses on various treatments offered to children and families exposed to trauma, with an emphasis on relevant and current topics, to help provide a well-rounded trauma-focused training experience.
