We strive to build productive relationships and make a positive impact with all of our pursuits.
Have you subscribed to our TIPs magazine yet?
The COECT magazine launched in January 2023 and provides parents and professionals with a trauma-informed approach to parenting.
This is an effective way of parenting all children and is especially significant for parents who are caring for children who have experienced adverse childhood experiences or children who are neurodivergent.
