Very Informative and helpful
The information provided in the training was very helpful. It certainly enhanced my knowledge as a professional. I liked how the training focused on various aspects of social economical and mental health globally. The information regarding increased abuse and neglect and associated helpline numbers were a valuable addition. I would have liked some focus on education and barriers to services being discussed for children and individuals with disabilities since feel that it's that population that has been mostly left out of discussions.
