Are you a member of a family?

Have you gotten tired of being tired?

Do you struggle to keep a smile on your face?

It's time to create peace in the FAMILY world!

The people we call family are those who add value to our lives, and for whom we would do anything to protect. Is someone in your family suffering? Learn how to bring the meaning of family back to life.

The fourth and final CWB course of 2020 is all about applying the science of behavior and learning to improve your family life.

The three books which provide the foundation for this course are:

(1) The Power of Positive Parenting: Transforming the Lives of Children, Parents, and Communities Using the Triple P System

(2) The Wisdom to Know the Difference: An Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Workbook for Overcoming Substance Abuse

(3) Cluttered Mess to Organized Succes: Declutter and Organize your Home and Life with over 100 Checklists and Worksheets

This course will teach skills related to:

Improving the quality of life
Positive parenting practices
Substance and domestic abuse
Home management
Strategic Family Planning
Related Ethical Obligations
Diagnostic Feedback

In this 9-week course, you will learn a set of skills related to improving your family life and earn 18 Type-2 "Learning" CEUs (12 general, 3 ethics, and 3 supervision). The skills are drawn from the work of Matthew Sanders (The Power of Positive Parenting), Kelly Wilson (The Wisdom to Know the Difference), and Cassandra Aarssen (Cluttered Mess to Organized Success), and you will learn how to systematically apply the lessons you learn to accomplish your family goals, in the service of your values, on the path toward your dream life for your family.

UPDATE: Until further notice, our courses and lessons as they were originally designed are on hold. We have pivoted to "Action Circles" during which we will be coming together to share our stories, learn from others, and collaborate to develop actionable solutions to the issues our world faces. Please visit our sister site to register for the weekly Zoom gatherings that start on 7/11/2020.
