  People that present challenges to community development professionals – the homeless, troubled youth, prostitutes, etc. – are often held back by subconscious belief systems. In this training, hear from the creator of an exciting new program: The Lies that Bind: The Legacy of the Locks. This program works to assess a person’s underlying belief system and gives them the tools to reprogram the way they think and find success in life. This program has been presented across the state, including at the Michigan Conference on Affordable Housing, to rave reviews from practitioners.
