🤝 Project ECHO – Support for Parents & Caregivers

Caring for teens and adults with challenging behavior can feel isolating — but you don’t have to do it alone.

Project ECHO runs Thursdays, April 2 – June 18 from 10–11 a.m.

This case-based learning series gives parents and caregivers the opportunity to:
✔ Engage with a multidisciplinary team of professionals
✔ Learn practical prevention and response strategies
✔ Connect in a safe, supportive environment

This is more than a class — it’s a community of support.

RSVP today to participate. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ZpiFN8JccXR6FtghN0X--SaK4MZR7gIQTJfaAvUNimw/viewform?edit_requested=true

WA INCLUDE provides education and training within a growing community of champions.
