Advanced Training - Tucson, AZ -- January 17-22, 2010

The Five-Day Advanced Training is for those treatment professionals and educators who wish to master the techniques of The Nurtured Heart Approach. Participants will receive full certification in the use of the approach in all venues of TREATMENT, CONSULTATION and EDUCATION.

The training will be limited to an appropriate number of participants and will be personally led by Howard Glasser, the developer of the approach - along with an incredibly gifted team of trainers in different Nurtured Heart Approach specialties. This will allow for in-depth training, participation and dialogue.

We are now taking applications for the Five-Day Training to be held in Tucson from Sunday evening, January 17th, through Friday, January 22th, 2010. The training begins with a reception dinner on Sunday, January 17th which is hosted by the training team and a perfect opportunity to network and meet the other participants.

You can inquire by sending an email to ADHDDOC@THERIVER.COM - Early registration is highly recommended for the 2010 Advanced Training as this event typically fills completely before the end of the year.

The Nurtured Heart Approach has shown itself to be enormously beneficial to professionals in providing superior work with families and schools and in meeting the demands of the managed care world of producing results within the framework of limited resources and restrictive authorizations. We've shown ourselves to produce Certified Nurtured Heart Therapists who consistently have extremely successful results and who thoroughly enjoy their part in transforming children and families.

You will earn 32.5 Continuing Education Credits for completing this five-day course. Please see the Continuing Education Information section below.

Testimonials:

"The NHA training was extraordinary. There really aren't words to describe it. It feels like such an internal process has blossomed in me. It is everything that I have studied and learned in my spiritual life come alive and made real. Deep in my heart I feel it is a gift from God, for everyone." Tami Gulland, CPE (Wisconsin)

"As I mentioned to you on one of the breaks, I am going through a spiritual transformation of the heart, and was WOWED by how your approach was talking to me on such a personal spiritual level. I was also WOWED in how it will begin to transformed my professional work with all clients. So, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." Susan Johnson, MFT (California)

"Howard... Thank you for all you did this week. I came to the Advanced Training, feeling knowledgeable about the Nurtured Heart Approach, but wondering how I could successfully inspire and motivate families to adopt the approach. After completing the training, not only am I confident in how to bring the approach to families, I realize that I have a far greater understanding of the concepts themselves, and how to practically apply them. I really appreciated the balance you achieved between structured and free flowing discussion, and I loved the various practical experiences with families, therapists and educators who have been successfully practicing the methods. I left the training with a portfolio of concrete ideas to bring back to my family and work. I think you were masterful in guiding the process, and in doing so in a manner which respected everyone and every idea. I certainly recommend this training to anyone who feels called to make the Nurtured Heart Approach a part of their personal and/or professional life." Thomas Nylund, MS (Illinois)

"Attending Howard Glasser's Advanced Training Workshop was extremely energizing. Experiencing positive feedback for a week was a life changing experience. It raised my clinical and personal skills and power to a higher level." Karen Wassmann, LCSW (Florida)

"Howie... I went to the school today and began plugging in some ideas with the assistant principal and he got very interested. He talked to the 6th grade teachers and the principal and by 2:00 the principal said she wanted to go school wide with the approach!!! " Whatever you need let me know- let's do this" says she. (I am already scheduled to meet with the 6th grade teachers this week.) Not bad for day one. There seems to be a plethora of benevolently constrained opportunities occurring. I think it was a blessing we were all so close on the last day rather than farther apart in the big room. It just intensified everything. From the new interstate." Tom Grove (Illinois)

"I feel richly rewarded by the techniques you gifted us with during the training. I came with head and heart understanding and now have the embodied ( belly) integration of all the pieces that I was needing in order to really go forward. Appreciating you and your work." Donna Jenson MS (Washington)

Dear Howie... Knowing what I know now about your Nurtured Heart Approach and "comparing" it to how I was treated as a child has given me more opportunity fro healing; this alone was worth the entire week. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for "you" and your very gentle and genuine manner in the conveying the truth that is in you. Your existence on the earth has, and will continue, to spare countless children the unbelievable turmoil and damage they experience by being criticized for being themselves, and, as a consequence of this, subsequently grow into adulthood with a tremendous amount of guilt, bad choices, and very little self-esteem. The repercussions of "you" Howie are far, far reaching, and our world is a much richer, more loving place because of you, and your determination to save other children from what some of us have experienced. MSW (USA)

Overview:

Most of my colleagues believe that a child's intensity is a problem that needs to be treated with medications and made to go away. I've developed an approach that puts parents and teachers into the driver's seat and gives them the perspective and strategies to shift children into using their intensity in beautiful ways.

Many children wind up on medications simply because there has not been an approach that consistently helps them to use their intensity successfully. 75% of all children evaluated for conditions such as ADHD and Oppositional Defiance Disorder receive medication on the very first visit. The unfortunate underlying message is: your teacher can't control you, your parent can't control you, and you can't control yourself... you need a substance to control you. Parents and teachers end up feeling inadequate and blamed as well.

Ordinary methods of parenting and teaching typically backfire with intense children. Despite the best of intentions, the more adults attempt normal responses, the worse the situation can inadvertently become.

The culprits are the methods most people have at their disposal... not the parents, teacher or the child. Approaches designed for the average child are not powerful or encompassing enough to have a transformative effect on children with behaviors involving opposition, defiance or inability to manage strong impulses or emotions.

The excellent news is that The Nurtured Heart Approach has been proven to create the transformation very quickly and in an enduring way. Instead of believing that one gets a great deal more from adults through negativity and that positive choices are a less certain bet, the child is moved to believing that he or she can fully invest energy and intelligence in successes. Join us for this workshop and learn how this powerful approach can work for you.

'Howard Glasser

Over the past few years the advanced training has continued to evolve and sculpt the growing edges of The Nurtured Heart Approach. The last few years have been enormously gratifying to participants in exploring the expansive realms of manifesting the greatness of others as well as manifesting our own greatness. So many have felt that in addition to further understanding the gifts of this approach the training was one best personal growth experiences of their life.

Learn the process of Transforming the Difficult Child with the creator and developer of The Nurtured Heart Approach. Our Intensive Workshop is the very best way to integrate the depth and scope of this approach in its entirety in a short period of time.

This workshop is designed for those who wish to use the approach professionally in arenas of treatment, in applications for school communities, for parent training and coaching and for use in leading workshops and seminars. This workshop will result in full authorization and certification for the professional use of the Nurtured Heart Approach.

Again - It is required that all participants have either previously attended a one-day training and/or have read the book and have at least experimented with this approach in their personal or professional lives. This will allow us to work at a level of depth that will meet the needs of all attending.
