Training Wing:

At Changing Tree, our staunch belief is to spread our wings through extensive training, Webinars and well- equipped workshops, not only to the professionals, but also to parents. The main reason to target parents as a part of our program is to upskill them, so that they would be able to provide right support to their kids. Also, these programs educate the mentees to focus on different approaches and strategies to work with children with diverse difficulties. 

We are honoured that there quite a number of professionals and parents who were trained by us are contributing the society across India and we would be overwhelmed to enable more people in the similar way!
