Does your program have a trained breastfeeding counselor? We recommend that every program have at least one home visitor trained in breastfeeding counseling. This 3-day training is designed for those who wish to learn the basics of teaching breastfeeding and use strategies to increase breastfeeding rates. This course is based on the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative, with content geared toward community-based providers. The course meets the standards of USBC Core Competencies in Breastfeeding Care and Services, WHO/UNICEF, and Florida Healthy Start training requirements. You must attend all three days to receive the Breastfeeding Counselor certificate. Please bring a computer or tablet for the 3rd day.

The first 1000 days is the most critical time for establishing a strong foundation of infant mental health. Home visitors can be pivotal in promoting infant mental health for families with young children. This half day training provides key concepts of attachment, trauma, and infant mental health; reviews the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on child development and brain development; and outlines a trauma-informed, infant mental health approach for home visitors to use to best meet the needs of infant, toddlers and families.

Adversity is common. We can't stop bad things from happening, but we can strengthen our resiliency to overcome adversity. This half day motivational training brings to life the book, Finding the Gold: Overcoming Adversity to Create A Happy Life, based on the science of resiliency. The training provides fresh insights to awaken our best selves and illuminate the "gold within" to thrive in the face of life's challenges. Hope you'll join us for this inspirational, fun journey!
