“Bring your work back to the workshop twenty times. Polish it continuously, and polish it again.”  Nicholas Boileau quotes (French poet and literary critic, 1636-1711)

The Office of Prevention provides numerous workshops and trainings for any number of people, age, profession, and topic.  For those community members (parents, students, etc) who are NOT looking for trainings as they relate to their profession, please look to the webpage titled, Community Workshops or Cummunity  Events.

Suggested Audience
