Description

The COSP Facilitator training distills 60 years of research from fields of attachment, neuroscience, psychodynamic theory, and child development into a structured framework to support families to understand their children's needs, recognize unhelpful intergenerational patterns and strengthen the quality of their relationships. This comprehensive training includes video instruction, live discussions, a facilitator manual, and access to exclusive member resources.

Learn to facilitate the COSP program with caregivers. Along the way, you’ll be introduced to a different way of looking at children’s behavior. Come to the training to find caring ways to help struggling families. Leave with clarity on how to be a change agent for building security across relationships.
