Training-by-telephone: Family and Corrections Network (FCN) offers a series of training-by-telephone conference calls. No travel required. These events are as close as your telephone.  Handouts are made available prior to the call by web site link. Presentations include lively discussion and interaction with participants. CD recordings can be ordered for those who cannot make the call.

All calls at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. Calls will last about 90 minutes. Callers pay their own long distance fees.

By registering, callers give FCN permission to record the call and because callers support FCN's charitable mission, callers who participate in recorded discussion give FCN to make use of such recordings as it deems appropriate.
