Description

Nurtured Heart Approach® (NHA) is a relationship-focused approach that strategically uses the core methodology called The 3 Stands.  NHA® helps children (and adults) build their Inner Wealth® and use their intensity in successful ways. The NHA® Certification Training Intensive (CTI) is a full immersion into becoming the Nurtured Heart Approach® and heightening a participant’s understanding of the philosophy and its tools so that they can masterfully apply the Approach in their interactions with even the most “intense” children. It is designed for parents, foster parents, educators, treatment professionals, child advocates, and returning Advanced Trainers to sharpen their skills and develop heightened leadership skills. This course is taught face-to-face, and with additional hours of reading and reflection.  During direct contact, participants will learn and discuss the core methodology and implementation of the NHA® within their educational environment and how to apply it to their interactions and relationships with other educators, parents, and children.

Syllabus, Objectives, and Outcomes

objectives:

You will:

• be able to communicate and utilize the core methodology of the Nurtured Heart Approach® (NHA®) in their relationships with adults and themselves during the course of the 4-day training.
• understand the role of intensity in creating difficult behaviors in their classrooms and how it can be used for greatness. They will be able to define “inner wealth” and understand “portfolios” of children/teens/adults and themselves.
• be able to distinguish non-specific, vague praise from relationship building, inner wealth building, and NHA® recognitions. They will practice the four recognitions of Stand 2 and share their personal experiences when interacting in small group settings.

• share a vision for implementing the NHA in their classroom or educational environments.
