About this class
Practical, evidence-based knowledge
you will actually use
This class is designed to give you the real, practical knowledge you need — taught by someone who works with families in exactly the situations this class prepares you for, every single day. No outdated information. No fear-based teaching. No oversimplification of things that actually matter.
Every class includes dedicated Q&A time so your specific questions get answered. Partners and support people are warmly welcome in all our classes — their knowledge and involvement makes a genuine difference in outcomes.
Class registration includes follow-up access to your instructor for questions that arise in the days after class — because the best questions often come once you are home and starting to think through what you learned.
