Leading parenting groups is a great experience! Youre not just helping parentsyoure helping children, teachers and other members of your community by strengthening families. Weve heard many amazing stories about the positive changes that occur after parents are shown the skills they need to communicate effectively with their children and others.

At Active Parenting Publishers, we provide opportunities to train to be a more effective facilitator at our Leader Training Workshops. You can also step up and learn how to train other facilitators at the Training of Trainers seminars. See below for information about both training options.

How to become a "certified" leader or trainer:
Once youve attended the training, you can become an Active Parenting certified leader by holding your first parenting group (or Leader Training Workshop) and sending us the evaluations from your class, along with your self-evaluation. If your evaluations are positive, we will certify you as an Active Parenting leader. Of course, you may continue to hold parenting classes even if you choose not to become certified.
