Intensive I: Making Sense of Kids
Starts October 17, 2025
Fridays 12:30PM – 01:30PM 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.
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 behaviour. 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.
