Attached at the Heart Training Events
Looking for parenting classes? Please visit this directory.
If you're a professional who works with parents, we welcome your application to train with us. Qualified professionals are invited to apply and register to train in the Attached at the Heart Parenting Program (AHPP).
AHPP training is professional development that promotes healthy parenting. AHPP training is for all qualified professionals and is well suited for perinatal professionals working with families in the early stages of parenting. AHPP is not a therapeutic or treatment modality.
Some of the benefits you'll experience training with us include:
- Joining a growing network of global parenting professionals using Attached at the Heart Parenting Program in their practice
- Expanding your knowledge of child and parent development and helpful, science-based parenting skills that parents in your practice will use
- Participating in live online training in small groups for meaningful, deepened learning
- Learning in a spaced training schedule that allows for reflection and stronger learning
- Six months of mentorship that qualifies you to teach AHPP parenting classes or supports and accelerates your non-teaching practice
- Ongoing support in a community of practice
- $700 all-inclusive pricing without hidden or extra fees
- CE credits as available
You'll see and hear the difference in the parents you work with as you discover new ways to become a more effective catalyst in their change. You'll help them recognize and make choices they weren't able to see before and you'll guide them to strengthen the beneficial positives they're already practicing.
Invite others to train with you! Each training requires 15 participants.
