Program Structure
This will be a hybrid structure with asynchronous and virtual/in-person participation. Each block will contain an asynchronous component (short videos) accompanied by a live webinar (1 hour).
Pandemic permitting, there will be 2 in-person sessions allowing participants to learn, exchange ideas, network and plan future work to sustain caring for teens with these issues.
