Intensive I: Making Sense of Kids
Starts September 26, 2025
Tuesdays 01:00PM - 02:00PM PT
Runs for 22 weeks
Anchored by Karen Bollman
$600 CAD
Intensive I provides the conceptual foundations of Neufeld's approach. Participants are equipped to use the constructs of attachment, maturation and vulnerability to view children and their problems three-dimensionally.
Alpha Children
Starts September 30, 2025
Tuesdays 01:00PM - 02:00PM PT
Runs for 4 weeks
With Lisa Weiner and Robin Brooks-Sherriff
$135 CAD early bird (regular $150)
Alpha children are not only more challenging to parent but also predisposed to a number of problems including anxiety, aggression, oppositionality and eating problems.
Intensive II: The Separation Complex
Starts October 16, 2025
Thursdays 11:00AM - 12:30PM PT
Runs for 17 weeks
With Genevieve Schreier
$750 CAD
Building on Intensive I, this course sheds light upon the impact of separation on a child's personality and behavior. When the developmental antecedents are understood, the path to effective intervention becomes clear.
Intensive III: Becoming Attached
Starts October 27, 2025
Mondays 11:00AM - 12:30PM PT
Runs for 17 weeks
With Genevieve Schreier
$750 CAD
Becoming Attached unfolds and expands the six roots of attachment and puts the focus more on adults than in the first two levels. The course is also a journey through Dr. Neufeld's earlier theoretical development which created the puzzle pieces that ultimately came together in the six roots of attachment.
