The Training Institute

The Bucks-Mont Collaborative Training Institute offers free professional development opportunities for organizations in our community through three focus areas: organizational and leadership development, trauma education, and social equity and justice.

Through a partnership with Gwynedd Mercy University Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) Program, the majority of our trainings offer complimentary social work CEUs, available for licensed social workers, licensed clinical social workers, licensed marriage and family therapists, and licensed professional counselors.

For upcoming trainings, please check out our latest newsletter! For Training Institute questions, please contact Nadja Mummery, Training Institute Coordinator.

Training Institute Funders & Partners

Thank you to these wonderful funders and partners for their support of the Training Institute! We deeply appreciate you and your commitment to strengthening our community through collective learning and professional development.

The VNA Foundation of Greater North Penn awarded a 5-year, $250,000 multi-use grant for The Kitty Fitzgerald Memorial Fund to the Bucks-Mont Collaborative in summer 2024. This grant honors Kathleen A. “Kitty” Fitzgerald, who led the North Penn Visiting Nurse Association for decades, and who went on to co-found both the VNA Foundation of Greater North Penn and the Bucks-Mont Collaborative as a volunteer. Fitzgerald passed away from cancer in April, 2024 at the age of 73.

“We are so proud and humbled to receive this major grant from the VNA Foundation, and it is even more of an honor to serve the community in Kitty’s memory. Kitty helped create strong partnerships that helped the Collaborative grow and thrive, and this 5-year commitment from the VNA Foundation is a powerful way to honor her legacy.” – Kristyn DiDominick, Executive Director. We encourage all to learn more about the Foundation and find inspiration from Kitty’s life of service and community to similarly serve our region!
