 What participants are saying 

“This PIPE training was awesome! I feel so much more empowered now…. I was surprised that there were so many fun learning activities where we actually experienced some of the things we can show parents. It was so useful to go through the topics so thoroughly and really dig into each step.” Heather  Nurse Family Partnership, Grand Junction, CO

“This PIPE training will help me teach my families. I was surprised how it made PIPE seem more simple.  The training manual was small but went in depth and we got to practice instead of too much info.” Becky, NFP St. Louis County Dept. of Public Health, MO

“This PIPE training was very effective for me. I was surprised that my confidence increased more than I expected.” Katee, Guilford Child Development, NC
