Consultation & Training
C Dawkins Nurturing Minds provides consultation and training services for early childhood and mental health systems seeking to strengthen reflective capacity, regulation, and relational practice across teams and programs.
Consultation and training are grounded in a reflective, relationship-based approach that centers collaboration, curiosity, and sustainability rather than quick fixes or compliance-driven solutions.
Program / Agency Consultation

Areas of focus may include:
- Building reflective capacity across teams
- Supporting staff regulation and burnout prevention
- Strengthening relational and attachment-informed practice
- Consultation around program-wide social-emotional and mental health supports
- Supporting leadership in reflective and relational supervision approaches
Formats may include individual leadership consultation, team consultation, or a combination of both.

- Supporting professional growth and confidence
Case consultation is available for individual clinicians or small groups.
