Asynchronous Program

11 WEEKS

Gain practical emotional health care skills and a foundation in Neural Network Therapy®.

Start any time, study anywhere.
No prerequisites. Unlimited email support.

Advance your emotional health care skills.

Invest in Your Professional Growth

Enhance your interpersonal skills and ability to support emotional well-being through a holistic lens.

The exercises are simple and accessible for people of all ages, yet their impact can be profound. Participants learn strategies to replace unhelpful habits in thought and behaviour with new and healthier patterns, strengthening the brain's neural pathways in the process.

Students will learn how to incorporate neuroscience into a practical process by developing a comprehensive understanding of the Neural Network Therapy® (NNT) exercises and their use within client support and personal development. Unlike traditional talk therapy, NNT is an approach of doing. Using the principles of neuroplasticity, lessons have been curated to provide a practical approach that helps participants achieve emotional well-being by forming new and improved neural networks in place of old and unwanted ones. Emotional Health Practitioners help individuals create positive, sustainable changes in brain functioning.

“I appreciate the way the course is set up with the flipped classroom, allowing us as much time as we need each week to learn and review the material and then the opportunity to ask any outstanding questions and get various perspectives and interpretations of the lessons. I also find the breaks timely, giving us an opportunity to dig into the lessons a bit more and to prepare for assignments.”
