The Neurosequential Model in Caregiving (NMC) applies core NM concepts for parents, caregivers, and non-clinical team members working in mental health, early childhood, juvenile justice, education and a host of other settings serving children, youth and families impacted by developmental adversity.

Our second of four online courses introducing the NMC begins January 30, 2026. This is a six-session online training that includes didactic lectures, multimedia content and group discussion/reflection questions. This series is led by Michelle Maikoetter and joined by expert discussants from the Neurosequential Network including Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D. and others.

All sessions begin with a brief orientation followed by the introduction of a key concept for ~20 minutes. Following the didactic teaching, a 30-minute interactive, small group session (~six people per small group) provides an opportunity to reflect on and discuss the concepts. Sessions end with a 30-minute full group Q/A and discussion period.
Recordings of sessions run ~60 minutes each and include the initial didactic teaching component and the full group Q/A and discussion period (the small group sessions are not recorded). A Discussion / Reflection Guide is provided and allows individuals or groups to replicate the live experience by creating their own small group reflection/discussion conversations.
