We highly recommend that all who implement the TND program participate in implementation training. The training is designed to build the skills that implementers need to deliver the lessons with fidelity. The objectives of the Project TND training are to: 1) provide an understanding of the theoretical basis, 2) review the content and program activities, 3) receive instructional techniques to assist with program facilitation, and 4) review the overall objectives of the program.
We offer in-person training workshops that last either one or two days. We also offer limited virtual trainings. Our TND certified trainers are health education specialists with extensive experience implementing the Project TND program.
