There is no charge to participate in the Network of Care training.  All sessions have an identical format, and will include time for Q&A.  The sessions will also provide an opportunity for you to give suggestions for improving the Network of Care.

The Harrisburg sessions will offer a WebEx option for those who want to access the training remotely from their computers. If you want to participate by WebEx, please RSVP with the email address you want to use. We will send additional information to those who are joining by WebEx.

RSVP no later than January 8 to
mocarter@state.pa.us<mailto:mocarter@state.pa.us>.

Be sure to let us know which session you are participating in and include your parking form (if attending in person) or preferred email address (if you are using WebEx).

If you have additional questions, please contact:
Jessica Bradley: jebradley@state.pa.us or Lu Conser: cconser@state.pa.us.

Please help expand and strengthen the use of this wonderful
recovery-oriented tool by attending one of the Network of Care sessions.

Thank you.
