I was very lucky to have been given the opportunity to be a part of the working group and have witnessed and had a voice in the [development of] ATAPS. ...Doing the training reinforced my knowledge and made me feel proud to have been involved from the beginning to the end. I feel confident in sharing the ATAPS to my peers. - Allison, School Learning Support Officer (Health)
