An evening for your familiesCertification for counselorsOther speaking
Certification · Opening 2027

For the counselor who wants to carry this themselves.

An evening with me reaches the families who came that night. A counselor who knows this system reaches every family who walks into their office for the rest of the year. This is the training that puts it in their hands — the words, the board, the thirty-minute meeting, and what to say to the parent sitting across from them who has run out of ideas.

It is not open yet, and I would rather tell you that plainly. Everyone on the waitlist hears the dates first.

Where it stands
2027
when the first cohort opens

Joining the waitlist costs nothing and commits you to nothing. It simply means you hear the dates before anyone else, and it helps me understand how many schools are hoping for this.

Hoping for it sooner?

If your district has a term in mind, do tell me. Enough schools asking for the same window is usually how a first cohort gets scheduled.
