Through trainings, we will be able to help providers increase their knowledge and confidence in managing the needs of children and youth with special health care needs. We will be able to provide parents and family members with resources to help advocate for their children’s and family’s needs.

Maine CDC’s Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs team will provide virtual “live” webinars on specific topics. Trainings will be recorded and available for “on-demand” training opportunities.
