An invaluable training for those working in home visiting programs for families with young children (aged 0-6 years).

Acquire new knowledge, tools, and techniques to support families (with children aged 0-6 years) in their homes in this core training developed by Great Kids, Inc.* (GKI).  In this hands-on, engaging, and informative program you’ll learn about the protective factors that increase the health and well-being of children and families, as well as practical strategies to teach and strengthen these factors in the families you work with. Participants will receive a manual and international training certification from GKI. In this four-day skill-driven course, family practitioners acquire new skills for motivating and communicating with parents of infants and young children. 

Highlights:

  • Opportunities to concretely apply theory to practice
  • Action tools, assessment tools and practical strategies for engaging families in home visiting
  • Strategies for building parental confidence and competencies that support growth in families and promote positive parent-child relationships
