Click here for hosting a Workshop for Family Support Professionals.
Hanen Workshops can be hosted by any individual or
organization interested in bringing this service to their community.
Frequently, speech-language pathologists around the world host Hanen Workshops
either on their own or through their place of employment. We make the
process as easy as possible by providing you with step-by-step support that
guides you through the process, from initial scheduling and promotion, through
delivery and evaluation.

What Our Hosts Say "The information sent was very clear. I liked the simple checklists. This is the third Hanen Workshop I have organized and it was the easiest yet!" "The Hanen staff were all entirely pleasant and supportive. My questions were handled with a spirit of urgency and importance. I really appreciate their professionalism and thoroughness. The workshop was splendid." "Maybe you've just done this so many times that you have all the kinks ironed out, but it was incredibly easy." "Very well organized and clear. It was made as easy and efficient as possible. Thanks so much for all your support and encouragement. Thanks also to (the Hanen Instructor) for working with us to keep costs down." "The Hanen Instructors were extremely professional and well-organized. I received great support from The Hanen Centre. I was very pleased and impressed with the whole package. The gift of books at the end was a nice touch too." "Our staff are very committed to hosting another Hanen Workshop in the future. It was a fun process!" |
Organizing a Hanen Workshop takes time. However, all past hosts have said that they would like to organize another
Hanen Workshop. In fact, many have become regular hosts.
If you require the support of your manager or administrator
to bring the workshop to your place of employment, we are pleased to provide
them with further information on the Hanen approach to help them make a
decision.
