Mountain Road School To Present Two-Part Workshop On "The Nurtured Heart Approach" - September 18, 2008
New Lebanon, NY - Mountain Road School, a leader in progressive education, is sponsoring a two-part workshop for parents, educators and mental health professionals on "The Nurtured Heart Approach" on Wednesday, October 1, 2008 from 6:30 - 8:30pm and again on Wednesday, October 15, 2008 from 6:30 - 8:30pm. The workshop will be held on the campus of Mountain Road School. and the cost is $50 per person or $80 per couple. On-site childcare will be provided at no charge. Post reception will follow with homemade refreshments and tour of the school with Mountain Road School teachers. Reservations are required.
The workshop will be led by Gabrielli LaChiara, LSW, who has worked as a group facilitator and family counselor for 18 years, and has trained directly with Howard Glasser, author of "Transforming the Difficult Child" and designer of The Nurtured Heart Approach.
The Nurtured Heart Approach (NHA) is a set of strategies that redirects children from using their intensity in primarily negative ways to creative and constructive ways. Although originally developed for children with ADHD and other challenging behaviors, NHA is effective with all children, and helps to create positive relationships and successful outcomes in every situation.
"Due to popular demand, we are pleased to bring The Nurtured Heart Approach to the Berkshire/Taconic region for the second time. The Nurtured Heart Approach helps fine tune our ways of interacting with all people, in every relationship we enter into. By attending the two-part workshop, participants will have the initial understanding and tools to begin using the approach and will immediately notice the difference" according to Mountain Road School director, Kathleen Bailer. "This is a wonderful opportunity for local educators and parents to gain first-hand knowledge of an approach that builds confidence and self-esteem in children. The Nurtured Heart approach focuses on nurturing the child, which reflects Mountain Road's philosophy of heart-felt education. I'm so pleased that the school can once again offer this exciting workshop where Gabrielli can share her expertise."
Mountain Road School teaches and nurtures children through a heartfelt approach to education, providing personal attention, academic excellence, small classes, and innovative curriculum.
Mountain Road School is located past Darrow School on Darrow/Shaker Road between Pittsfield, New Lebanon and West Stockbridge, on the NY/MA border off of Route 20. The campus includes 400 acres of beautifully terraced organic gardens, fields, woods and streams in a former Shaker Village.
