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 first introductory NMC training series, the NMC Key Concepts: Basics course 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.
