Cost of Course
- Private Practice Clinician $139
Compare our $139 cost to similar webinar trainings that range from $900 to $2500. Positive feedback usually highlights that I provide the nuts and bolts: ie. interviewing, report writing & testifying. The free monthly Zoom Consult Group seems appreciated also!
- Non-Profit, Government Agencies, & Students $95
Clinicians working at low fee clinics or agencies working with immigrants truly deserve a break in the rate. I simply expect you to use the honor system in selecting this discounted rate.
- Survivor of Torture Programs (SOT) - Or Agencies Working Primarily with Immigrants $49
Clinicians working primarily with torture, or primarily with immigrants warrant a lot of respect and deserve an even bigger discount. For this discount just email me the name of your agency & a brief description of it's mission to Marc@RealHope.com and ask for the discount coupon code to get that reduction.
