FAN Grants

We are committed to making FAN trainings accessible to prenatal-five workers in our region—especially those from BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), immigrant, and rural communities. One way we do this is by offering no-cost trainings through our Grant Program, where you can attend Practitioner FAN in English and Spanish, and Supervisor FAN in English.
