Weeklong Trainings
Join the NCBfC SAFE Team for a Weeklong Training on Infant Feeding in Emergencies!
​
Trainings will cover essential topics and practical skills related to supporting infant feeding in crisis situations and will help build a strong, informed community of support.
​
When: Beginning in 2025, the weeklong trainings will take place every Sunday to Saturday. You can attend as many weeklong sessions as you would like! Register for the week or weeks that will work best for you.
​
Location: The trainings begin each morning at the Forgery, 19 Young Road, Weaverville, NC. Attendees then will move to assignments at various locations in the community.
​​​
Cost: The trainings are free. We are applying for CERPS for the trainings. There will be a fee for the CERPs. We anticipate that the CERPs will cost $350.00.
