Testimonials
"When staff have completed the training, they feel confident in knowing how to facilitate groups, they have the required resources, and positive ways to engage parents in a nurturing setting."

“This has been extremely valuable training for me both personally & professionally. Content, facilitation and resources all beyond excellent! I have valued the discussions around the ‘how’ as this often gets overlooked on training. Thoroughly enjoyed every session.”
