Head into summer with a fresh lens (NHA Workshop June 28th)
Do you have an intense child in your life? Or an intense therapy client? Student? Maybe you’ve got some intensity of your own? Or has the pandemic triggered overwhelming behavior you've never seen before at this level?
Come learn about shifting that intensity without having to dampen it, diminish it, numb it or otherwise try to make it go away—and find out how it can actually be a tremendous gift!
I (workshop facilitator Leah Marcus) have been learning and living the Nurtured Heart Approach® (NHA®) for the past 10 years, first as a counselor and art therapist, then as a wife, mother, and (perhaps most potently) within myself. I am a certified Advanced Trainer in the NHA, as well as a certified NHA Inner Wealth® Mentor.
The Nurtured Heart Approach® is a curriculum for relationship. It can inspire transformative change in any child, including those with social, behavioral, emotional, or academic challenges, and/or diagnoses like ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and attachment & anxiety disorders. NHA is also protective against bullying.
Dedicated parents & professionals for whom traditional strategies have fallen short often find NHA to be a powerful force of change in their homes, classrooms, and beyond. Through the clear vision and boundaries of NHA children see their intensity as fuel for greatness, not as a deficit.
This engaging workshop will begin to teach you how to help all children flourish as they:
- Cultivate inner strength and self-monitoring
- Improve emotional regulation and communication skills
- Take ownership of behaviors and outcomes
- Increase positive social interaction
NOTE: This workshop is **FULLY LIVE**, to allow for interaction and as much impact as possible. The event will be recorded but no replay will be automatically sent (email Leah for access); come ready to try on a new, empowering lens!
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Parents, caregivers, adoptive/foster/kinship parents, educators, child care workers, mental health professionals, and any community members invested in improving the lives of children!
TESTIMONIALS:
“This super digestible explanation of the three stands was transformative for me and my family. This intro came to me at a really hard time for my five year old and after a few days of implementing what I had learned, her behavior did a 180, and I actually found myself enjoying parenting ...during a pandemic.”
- L. N., parent and teacher
“Leah, thank you so much for your Nurtured Heart workshop. I started seeing results the very next day! I was previously implementing [a different peaceful parenting] approach. While I believe in the fundamentals [of that other approach], it was positively exhausting for me. Every time my kids exhibited a negative emotion it felt like a siren telling me to pour more into them. So there was a lot of energy around the negative, even if only in my brain!
The Nurtured Heart concept of being an energy detective has completely changed my perspective and allows me to be truly calm during the storms, leaving energy to be bright and interactive when the skies are sunny. [My daughter] went from whining almost all the time to to joyful, resilient, and empathetic. Virtual learning feels much less daunting with these tools in the toolbox. Thank you thank you thank you!!!”
- J.W., parent
“Leah possesses such a gift for helping families. Her passion for Nurtured Heart is contagious. Each time I hear her speak, my passion for parenting in a kind, loving, firm way is renewed.”
- J. E., parent
“Leah is one of the most caring and supportive individuals I have ever met, and this comes across so clearly in her training. She has an incredible ability to touch people to their core with her words of affirmation. Her words and her presence, both in person and online, perfectly model how we can feel connected to our kids using NHA.”
- S. N., parent and therapist
“Leah is a passionate representation of NHA. She uses it in her daily life with her son, and would like to assure that you are able to use it in your life as well.”
- Parent participant
“Very inspiring and motivational! Great techniques. Definitely will be using these approaches at home.”
- N, parent and parent advocate
