The training is scheduled for Saturday, May 10, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Carrol College - O'Connell Hall Rm 107, 1601 N Benton Ave, in Helena.

Presenters include Elizabeth Kohlstaedt, PhD, clinical director and Jim FitzGerald, MPA, executive director. Kohlstaedt is a licensed psychologist and has trained medical interns in New York and across Montana. She has appeared on Prime Time Live, National Public Radio and in the Los Angeles Times to discuss attachment disorders.
