Jodie offers training and support for everyone, including organisations and whole staff training. You can choose to have your training personalised on a range of topics or you can choose to enroll your staff members or organisations on our CPD accredited programmes.
What is The Nurturing Consultancy Programme?
The Nurturing Consultancy programme ranges from dedicated 1:1 individualised support for parents/carers and professional’s to group training delivered online or in person depending on location. Jodie can offer sessions based on your specific difficulties, and tailor the support to your needs.
Jodie offers a range of options including our brand new offering of CCC in 10, 5 & 3 – which is on-going support for anyone who has or is planning on accessing The Radical Parenting Programme.
With Calm, Connection & Co-Regulation® – A Nurturing Parenting Approach embedded throughout everything we offer, we are extending that support and including it in every consultation option that we offer. This means that whatever type of support you choose there will be an element of our Calm, Connection & Co-Regulation information included.
What type of consultations do you offer?
If is this is the first time you have found Jodie then we recommend you book a 1:1 60 minute introductory consultation so that she can find out a little bit more about your needs, which will also give you the opportunity to explore whether you are also comfortable working with her.
Mutual safety is important to Jodie and sometimes as humans we don’t always align with our goals and unique ways of thinking, so if you decide after the first session that this working relationship isn’t beneficial for you then she will endeavour to signpost you to someone who may be able to help more effectively.
If you would like to continue working with Jodie, there are a few options available to you which include our newestfollow on support dedicated for attendees of The Radical Parenting Programme. This support is based on A Nurturing Parenting Approach – Calm, Connection & Co-Regulation® and there are three options to choose from.
Or Jodie can come up with a specific plan to help your individual family needs, based on anything that you are struggling with in that moment.
Most families of disabled children have already begun this journey in their own way, by following their gut instinct, breaking the cycle of intergenerational trauma and providing a nurturing, safe space for their children enabling them to live authentically.
They are missing one piece though. Professionals. Collaboration. Help and guidance and practical, safe support to begin Connecting The Blocks.
They are missing you. The single most influential person in their lives who has the ability to keep them safe from Parent Blame and accusations of Fabricated & Induced Illness.
This involves working together, following a parents instinct to use A Nurturing Parenting Approach such as Calm, Connection & Co-Regulation in order to assist with the emotional regulation and development of our vulnerable disabled children and young people.
This membership will give professionals a deeper understanding of the importance of a Nurturing Approach and the tools to begin working together on Connecting The Blocks.
