NRF Communities

Bring the shared language to your community

When your local community implements the NeuroRelational Framework, then families have access to a cohesive approach. By joining the NRF communities, you gain competency in your field, increase your energy as you serve others, and families can better support their children.

NRF as a grant recipient

The NRF has been honored to have trained multiple communities since training our first early adopter community in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in 2011. Local, state, and regional grants have been awarded to entities that have used their funds to purchase NRF training for their agencies. We particularly specialize in cross-training teams of practitioners from different disciplines at the same time. Here are a few samples of these agencies and teams. The “more info” link gives you data on the funding sources and their outcomes. We welcome any agency or entity to contact us if they want to consider using grant funding to promote medical, developmental, relational, and learning health using the NRF across the lifespan.
