Social Services and Schools Training & Workshops

Edgework offers training in a customized format to suit the needs of your agency, be it a mental health facility, social service provider, hospital or school. This training is presented at a level of clinical sophistication and detail tailor-made to the particular responsibilities of your staff. When staff feel secure in their skills to handle the worst situations, they achieve a much more calm and relaxed, even spacious attitude towards their clients, patients or students. 

Your clinical, teaching, or intervention skills will be greatly enhanced. When you feel both strong and confident, you are able to offer a powerful compassion that draws even volatile people to you in trust.
