Professional Development & Training

This training helps adults who interact with children of all ages to connect, stregthen child-adult relationships and increase positive and desirable behaviors. 

Participants will learn how PCIT (Parent-Child Interaction Therapy) skills supports emotion regulation, promote positive behavior change, and improve attachment through play and structure—and gain insight into how to integrate these skills and core concepts into the broader context of the preschool and daycare setting.  

This training offers practical, trauma-informed strategies for understanding and responding to emotional escalation in children. Designed for professionals and caregivers who support youth, we’ll explore what’s happening in the brain and body during big feelings, as well as the escalation cycle—what to do (and what not to do) at each stage.

Through discussion, case examples, and hands-on tools, participants will learn how to spot early signs of dysregulation, apply grounding and co-regulation techniques, and build emotional safety in moments of distress. You’ll leave with practical skills to use across home, daycare, school, and clinical settings.

This training provides a comprehensive and culturally competent framework for working with youth through play-based therapeutic techniques. Drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) this training will emphasize the critical role of play in therapeutic settings, helping participants not only understand its importance but also gain the skills necessary to effectively implement play-based techniques in their work with youth.

Through a combination of didactic learning and experiential practice, participants will engage in hands-on activities, including role-playing and interactive exercises designed to build competency in these play therapy skills. 

This training is ideal for anyone working with youth who wants to incorporate Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in meaningful, practical ways. We’ll explore how to identify your personal and professional approach, and dive into key themes like emotional regulation, positive relationships, and trauma-informed care through discussion, activities, and case examples.

Participants will leave with ready-to-use tools—like coping skills toolbelts, brain-based psychoeducation, mindfulness and grounding practices, and youth-centered safety planning—to support and strengthen their work with children and teens.

This training takes a fresh look at bullying by unpacking common misconceptions and offering a more nuanced, trauma-informed lens. Designed for caregivers, educators, and youth-serving professionals, we’ll explore how the term “bullying” has become an overused catch-all—and why that matters.

Through discussion and real-life examples, we’ll examine the roots of harmful behavior, the role of power and social dynamics, and the importance of shared, accurate language across home, school, and community. Participants will leave with practical tools to promote emotional safety, foster healthy relationships, and reframe bullying prevention as a collective, proactive effort.
