Therapist Training Outline
Therapist training happens over a 5-day period which may be all in a row or staggered over different days, depending on each groups need. Training sessions will have limited numbers so we can ensure we give opportunities to practice and role-play together.
In becoming a valued member of the Launch Collective, you invest in each training module. It is not intended that these replace your existing methods and specialties with which you currently support your clients. These aspire to compliment your existing toolbox.
