We have a membership system
Our membership system was recently introduced in consultation with our community. We wanted to make changes to move completely away from anything that resembled a franchise system. CalmFamily offers training as a Certified Parenting Consultant in one or more specialisms, after which you can use this as you see fit. Under our training agreement you are able to facilitate our education programmes, giving you a chance to understand their worth. Once trained you can decide whether or not to offer them.
We believe our system achieves the following:
We believe our system achieves the following:
- Consultants can market themselves individually and authentically whilst having access to programme branding
- Consultants have more choice about what they want to pay for and what they need for their own success
- The cost of membership does not increase with each specialism/programme, facilitating consultants offering more
- Everyone is clear and specific about their responsibilities and expectations
- Consultants can stay within the community indefinitely in the way that suits them at the time
- CalmFamily remains a sustainable not-for-profit organisation
- Consultant's micro-businesses are sustainable
- CalmFamily leadership are more able to drive our overall mission forward
You are always part of the community
|
Once you have completed your basic training with CalmFamily, you can choose to use your training to consult with parents without any ongoing commissions or fees. You can even stay in our support groups because you are always welcome as one of our professional educators. You are always part of the CalmFamily community for as long as you want to be.
We are a family |
