Vermont Touchpoints Trainings

 

We offer Touchpoints trainings in multiple modalities: virtual, in-person, and hybrid. All Touchpoints trainings are a total of 33 hours and include learning and practice phases.

  • The learning phase of Touchpoints trainings include synchronous face-to-face learning and independent work done on the participants own time.  While the total time of the learning phase is the same for all trainings 33 hours, the relative time for face-to-face and independent learning activities varies.
  • The practice phase of Touchpoints follows the learning phase. Participants will practice applying Touchpoints, reflect on their experience using journal prompts, and meet monthly for an hour of face-to-face time to share their reflections and learnings.

All Touchpoints trainings are open to individuals and teams working in Vermont in early childhood sectors, including early care and education providers, Children’s Integrated Services (CIS) providers, and medical providers.  

Trainings are a $795 value but are currently free thanks to funding from the Vermont Department of Health Division of Family and Child Health.  Participants must live in Vermont or serve families in Vermont and  commit to attending all sessions.   For professionals outside of Vermont interested in Touchpoints trainings, please visit the Brazelton Touchpoints Center. Attendance is required to meet certification requirements.
