Intro to NMC Series 2 - Early Life Experiences, Attachment & World View (Focus on Young Children: Birth to Four)
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 live sessions take place on Fridays from 11:30AM – 1:00PM CST.
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.
