Become a Trauma-Informed Specialist,
Certified Parent Coach or Educational Trainer

Does your child (or your students) do any of the following?

  • Refuse to comply with your rules or even simple requests?
  • Get angry and upset out of proportion to stress, difficulty, or challenges?
  • Exhibit frequent shut downs, meltdowns, and episodes of aggression?
  • Have anxiety that interferes with activities, school, and family time?
  • Control everyone in the house so that you are walking on eggshells?
  • Whine, complain, cry, sulk, get angry often?
  • Have difficulties at school, especially with homework?
  • Leave you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted from control battles?
  • Lie, steal, bully others, or have food issues?

Behaviors are just symptoms.
We are here to help!

Other professionals, teachers, counselors, and parents might tell you things will never change. They might tell you that your child (or student) is hopelessly damaged, so you just have to accept it and find a way to stay safe and maintain some control in all the chaos.

You may be the parent or teacher of a child who is neurodivergent (ADHD, autistic, gifted, 2e, etc.), and they may have an official medical diagnosis or disability. If your child has been diagnosed with a mental illness such as anxiety, depression, ODD, RAD, IED, or any other DSM label, you may have been told that they will never be able to find true growth and healing.

At Heart-Strong International…

We believe in the power of compassion and connection that leads to TRANSFORMATION.

To promote strong relationships and eliminate challenging behaviors for kids with trauma, anxiety, and other challenges that make it difficult for them to self-regulate, traditional discipline practices such as rewards and consequences just don’t work.

Instead, parents and educators must learn strategies to stay calm and connected, discover underlying needs, solve problems collaboratively, and use compassionate and courageous communication… so that everyone in the family feels safe, loved, happy, and successful!

With the right mindset, strategies, and ongoing support, you truly can see massive changes happen in children with trauma, ACES, and anxiety.

Imagine how your life would change if you could help children…

  • Feel safe and trust you as a parent or teacher…
  • Verbalize feelings and express needs instead of controlling you…
  • Decrease and eventually eliminate meltdowns, and rages…
  • Find success at school and grow in social, emotional and academic success…
  • Be a loving, compliant, and helpful member of the family or classroom…
  • Be peaceful and calm so you can all relax and have fun…
  • Build a trusting relationship with you so that you actually enjoy their company!

That’s what graduates of our programs and those who work with our certified coaches and trainers are experiencing, and it can be this way for you, too!

Don’t keep waiting and hoping that things will change.  Take action, and join us in our parent/teacher courses and certification programs, where you will learn visual frameworks to help you and your child grow and develop an individualized plan to bring peace, hope and healing transformation to even the most challenging situation in your family or classroom.
