Conversations For Caring
For close to a decade, the Conversations program, based north of Boston, has offered trainings to both professional and volunteer providers with the goal of serving some of the most vulnerable people in our communities.
As a result of the pandemic, the live regional events became virtual events, providing the opportunity to extend our reach nationally.
The monthly trainings address some of the most challenging issues facing providers today. They include but are not limited to the following topics:
• Addiction
• Mental/behavioral health
• Trauma
• Provider self-care
• Parkinson’s
• Homelessness
Class attendees can earn Continuing Education Credits in Social Work, Nursing, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor (LADC), and NorthEast Emergency Medical Services (NEEMS).
Conversations is a program developed by GLSS (Greater Lynn Senior Services) in Massachusetts.
