Hebrew Language Program
Led by Elana Strobinsky
The Hebrew language program has a deep roots, beginning in 2008 with Shoshana Hayman, the Hebrew publisher of Hold On To Your Kids, in the lead. Shoshana interned with Dr. Neufeld and built a program focused primarily on training parent educators. This program has since been passed on to her daughter, Elana Strobinsky, a psychologist involved in school and treatment settings. Also a Neufeld Institute Faculty member, she has added a support and training program for professionals.
This program has its own Hebrew campus through which it offers more than a dozen Neufeld online courses in Hebrew. Please consult the website and director's profile for more information.
