With a plethora of study materials available to prepare for the EPPP, one would think that if an individual dedicates sufficient time, the exam should be a breeze. So why is it such a challenge?

Workshop participants will expand their repertoire of learning tactics, gaining insight into the importance of matching strategy to content format, as well as the value of utilizing humour and creativity to boost memory.

Participants in this workshop will be introduced to knowledge and concepts related to decolonizing supervisory practice, working with iyiniwak (Indigenous people) in supervision, and supervising practice with iyiniwak seeking services.
