Connections Volunteer Center, a program of HelpLine, is offering 15 community training opportunities in 2014. Visit the website, www.connectionsvoluntercenter.org, to review the new catalog and register online. All of our trainings are open to the public and provide CPEs for social workers/counselors, CEs for nurses and several trainings will offer Recognized Clock Hours (RCHs) for Chemical Dependency Counselors.
“We have put together a schedule with relevant and required information for professionals in our community, many local agencies send staff to our trainings.” Says Suzanne Pingry, Connections Program Director. “Our training is structured so it is practical to attend; they are extremely affordable and many sessions are only three hours which means you don’t miss an entire day of work.”
