The Nurtured Heart Approach® provides a practical method to support parents and caregivers in making children feel seen, noticed, and appreciated for who they are and what they bring to the family. NHA® is specially designed to support teachers in coping with difficult students, helping create an environment of learning success for all children where the Common Core Initiative can thrive. By providing space for individuals to experience successes in any moment, professionals using NHA® move from a focus on problems to intentional creation of in-the-moment success. During this introductory workshop, Nicole Semmens will give you a glimpse into the 3 Stands ™ used in NHA to build healthy relationships that celebrate the intensity of the people in your life and help create Inner Wealth® in others, which guides them to transforming their behavior from negative/destructive to successful/positive.
