This site contains training resources for the First Impressions program, along with information about First Impressions programming being carried out in the region. If you have resources you would like to include here, please email them to Kristen Devlin (krd111@psu.edu).
In 2015, WVU Extension provided First Impressions training to Extension staff in five other states, with funding from NERCRD. Many of the resources here are outcomes of that initiative. Image: adapted from Hedgefighter via Wikimedia Commons
