What is Cultivate Connection?

Cultivate Connection is an 18 module course for parents, developed by Empowered to Connect, based on the work of Dr. Karyn Purvis and her colleagues  at the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development.  The course is offered throughout the USA and internationally to equip parents and caregivers with a holistic understanding of their child’s needs and development while empowering them with the tools and strategies to effectively meet those needs, build trust, and help their child heal and grow. The training focuses on a wide range of topics, including:

  • the impact of a person’s history
  • what parents bring to the parent-child relationship
  • the fundamentals of attachment
  • the impact of stress on behavior

Cultivate Connection integrates this holistic understanding with the insights and skills parents need to effectively and consistently employ a connection-based parenting approach.

The ‘Cultivate Connection’ course has truly been a transformative experience! This course offers practical tools and insights for empowering parents to better connect with children, fostering healthier communication, and nurturing emotional intelligence in the family.
