Current Trainers

The most recent version of the BodyWorks toolkit includes information for parents and caregivers about adolescent boys. To update the current BodyWorks training manuals, the BodyWorks team has developed the For Guys Training Guide Addendum. This addendum package includes inserts that provide background about adolescent boys, modified case studies and other activities designed to include boys. Trainers can use their current Train-the-Trainer and Parent and Caregiver manuals by incorporating the modifications provided in this addendum.

If you would like to receive a copy of the For Guys Training Guide Addendum, please contact the BodyWorks team at bodyworks@hagersharp.com.
