CalmFamily training is a blended learning experience including interactive learning, self study, self-assessment, and collaborative projects. You will learn interactively with the CalmFamily team either online or in-person, and through extensive learning materials in multiple formats.
Interactive in-person or via zoom
Interactive training involves exploration of ideas, discussion of complex issues and gaining tools for educating and supporting others.
Collaborative community learning
We use our own online community within our website that enables a safe space for social learning right where the content is also held.
Multi-format materials
We use a combination of videos, audio, online quizzes, downloadable workbooks, and traditional learning manuals to support knowledge.
Tailored and accessible
All our learning can be provided in a format that supports your needs. We will work with people make sure you can be included in a way that supports you.
Our consultant training comes with a huge amount of written and video content for you to use for your own learning, as a knowledge base, and for your reference. This content covers a wide range of relevant topics as core content, and then all the possible relevant topics for your specific specialism.
The content makes sense of the best possible evidence available, puts it into practice, analyses many aspects of the issues, and provides useful material for your work educating and supporting families. You can explore the kind of content you will receive on the page for each specialism.
Excellence
High quality content that focuses on realistic relationships in families, supporting striving towards being calmer, not calm, because we are human. We do not aim for perfection, nor encourage anyone else to do so. When people strive for perfection, failure is the only possibility. We strive for excellence in teaching, and encourage trainees to strive for excellence in understanding, learning and in their pratice.
Empathy
We empathise with our trainees, as training can bring up some very personal experiences about how we were parented, or have parented, or wish to parent. We offer space for emotional containment, and help trainees empathise and offer emotional containment to each other. This is a critical part of being a consultant. Our empathetic support continues and is extended to all those in our community.
Evidence
We take the latest research and consider how it relates to our programmes. We regularly refresh content in line with new findings to ensure our training is evidence informed. We teach from principle so that understanding is flexible. We encourage participlation in groups, and attendance at CPD to keep knowledge up to date.
Empowerment
By teaching from principle we support trainees to have an in depth understanding of issues that they can continually build on. They can then flexibly apply this to many professions and aspects of life. We encourage them to pursue their practice in their own way, empowering them to embrace the value their uniqueness brings to the CalmFamily consultant community.
This is the approach we use with our clients. Teaching from principle to help them find solutions, rather than misleading with promises of one size fits all solutions.
Equality
Our training does not have the dynamic of 'experts' imparting wisdom to lesser beings. All our equal in our training and we recognise that those who train with us have huge amounts of knowledge and experience. We make space for them to share this in parts of the training, and we positively embrace peer education and development in the consultant community.
Ethics
Our ethics permeate every aspect of our business. This includes honesty and integrity about our area of knowledge, it extends to the products we stock, the companies we partner with, the events we attend, who we allow to use our brand, and to what purpose. Our ethical commitments allow consultants, parents and professionals to be able to trust us implicitly.
Our training really does have a different feel to it
and people love it
Every training experience is unique, because we take a collaborative approach to learning, and we ensure that we holistically meet the needs of the group and the individuals within it.
We welcome:
- Discussion
- Real questions and answers
- Your personal experience and specialist knowledge in the room.
We actively develop:
- Our relationships with you, and within the group for the future
- Your personal and parenting journey
- Your knowledge and skills in how to think critically, assess people’s needs, and how to help people make real change in their lives.
We don't:
- Push you to do anything that you find uncomfortable.
- Prescribe how you must think about anything
- Leave you struggling.
We celebrate all kinds of diversity,
and respect people's feelings.

During the training you will have access to the whole leadership team as much as you need. We will offer individual support whenever needed, make any materials accessible to your personal needs, and will always be a shoulder to lean on.
As you get started with working, we offer general support and there is a community of peer support as standard. If you want more, we also offer a mentoring programme, in which you will be professionally guided through your initial period.

This module is a little different. there is nothing to read. Instead you find a mini research project. You are asked to find out about a list of mainstream baby “experts”, to summarise their approach, and the pros and cons of this approach using the understanding you have developed in the rest of the course.This comes with no judgment at all, many people, including some of the directors of CalmFamily, have followed their advice in the past. The purpose is to understand what information parents are receiving from other sources, to recognise the principles on which the advice is based, so you can understand how and when it may work, and when it may not. This module also helps you to understand the challenges faced by parents when trying to find out about an expert before buying into their approach. This module can really help you to understand the experience of struggling parents, and support them appropriately.
