Train future
leaders of classes for stepfamilies
Thousands of new
stepfamilies are formed every year, each with unique challenges.
This means an ever-increasing need for stepfamily education leaders—and
trainers like you to teach them.
Track #3 will be
led by Steven Hargrave. Steven has been using the Active Parenting
for Stepfamilies program since its introduction. Also participating
in Track #3 is Dr. Michael Popkin, co-author of the program and
founder of Active Parenting Publishers.
At

authorization to conduct your own Leader Training Workshops (LTWs)—and
earn extra income

and publicize your LTWs
- get advice from the
authors of the program about what your LTW participants will
need to know
- enhance your presentation
skills by working in small groups

- learn how to teach
group facilitation skills that are important in any leadership
position (including dealing with difficult attendees)
- learn the absolutes
required for a successful LTW, along with ways to adapt the course
material for your particular audience
- become re-energized
in this uplifting and motivational atmosphere
