Communications & Evaluation

The CAPTC Difference
We believe in the power of human-to-human connection. For providers, we create learning environments in which they feel safe to learn, reflect, and explore themselves. In turn, these providers have a bigger tool belt so they can offer welcoming, inclusive spaces to their clients to receive care. We are more than trainers, we promote an ethic of compassion, empathy, humility, and inclusivity in healthcare.
