Since 1989, Families First has been meeting the needs of parents through educational programs, materials and support services.  Throughout that time, we have received many inquiries from programs and sites about offering similar trainings tailored for staff. In response to these requests, we have developed a variety of programs to address the needs of professionals who work with children and/or parents.

All of our  professional trainings can be brought to your office and/or community. Whether you are looking for a full day or part day training, we have a variety of programs to meet the needs of your professional staff. Read more about how we can come to you.

Full Day Trainings
Our full day professional trainings incorporate the knowledge we have gained from our years of experience working with parents into programs that help professionals work effectively and confidently with the families they serve. Families First programs offer professionals from a variety of disciplines an opportunity to gain new insights, tools and a fresh perspective about their work with families. Social Workers, Early Childhood Educators, Health Care professionals, Counselors and Teachers are among the professionals who have benefited from our cutting edge content, interactive group process and the opportunity to network across disciplines.
