Publications

To accompany and clarify the workshops taught by ACHP, manuals were developed to assist the trainers in keeping the workshops consistent, as well as to make the learning process easier for the participants. We have found that backing up the verbal concepts with visual reinforcement, through slides, videos, and manuals, is very important when teaching to participants with varied backgrounds.
