Continuing Education
Professionals can earn up to 30.5 continuing education hours through participation and successful completion of the weeklong facilitator training program, depending on the state and accrediting body.
We partner with other family-focused nonprofits to enhance the way they work with families and guide them to use Parenting Journey’s strengths-based approach. Our trainings give human service professionals the opportunity to enhance their skills, knowledge, and perspective through proven, strength-based, trauma-informed, and two-generational approaches to parenting groups.
