Our team of experienced clinicians is committed to providing training that is informed by practice-based evidence and direct clinical experience. We believe that this approach leads to a more effective training curriculum that prepares clinicians to provide the best possible care to their clients.

ADOLESCENTS WHO HAVE ENGAGED IN SEXUALLY ABUSIVE BEHAVIOUR TRAINING TESTIMONIAL:
"The impact of the work the Faculty of the Clinical Collective has delivered toward developing capacity for supporting youth at risk of causing sexual harm in the Province of New Brunswick cannot be overstated. From the first point of contact, the team were able to steward all areas of need, development, implementation and growth, exceeding any and all expectations. It is not hyperbole to say the youth of this province are infinitely better served because of the expertise they offer, and we look forward to continued partnership."
