Our conference is now over. . . we will be hosting a next conference in April 2023
This conference was designed for parents, caregivers, educators, and mental health professionals who want to learn about the latest research, innovations, and techniques pertaining to children’s mental health and attachment-based practices.
Ideas and strategies to help children reach their potential.
The Institute’s vision is that parents and professionals will walk away from the conference with a toolbox of new ideas and strategies to help children reach their fullest potential. The three-day online event will take place April 22-24, 2022. You will learn from a variety of experts including Dr. Tina Payne Bryson, Dr. Gordon Neufeld, Dr Becky Kennedy and Dr. Jennifer Mullen, as well as 19 additional workshops covering a range of topics impacting today’s youth, including issues of emotional intelligence and resiliency to the more intense struggles related to trauma and low self-esteem.
Additionally, these courses qualify for continuing education hours, and a certificate of completion can be obtained.
