About

Dads Tuning in to Kids Online Facilitator Training is a half day professional development workshop that gives trainees a grounding in the concepts of Emotional Intelligence and Emotion Coaching. These sessions are suitable for anyone who works with parents and kids in a professional capacity, particularly in family and community services, child protection, foster/kinship care, health, mental health and education sectors. Participants must attend training in full in order to receive certification.

What is covered in the training?  The training introduces professionals to the theory and research behind the program and outlines the philosophical approach, which is a focus on valuing emotions in the parent-child relationship.
