NTG Workshops

Canada

 

The NTG Canadian Consortium has adapted the NTG education and training curriculum for use within Canada and offers a range of trainings, webinars, and consultations for agency trainers.  The Consortium is a collective of professionals, academics, agency personnel and family with interest in advocacy, education, and program/services development on behalf of Canadians with intellectual and developmental disabilities at risk of or living with dementia as well as their families and other caregivers. The Consortium also supports a network of Affiliated Provincial Trainers in British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Saskatchewan... and provides technical assistance to all areas across Canada.

About US

We aim to make our courses accessible and affordable with costs kept to a minimum.  Registration is limited to enable participants to connect and begin to develop grassroots networks. Courses are offered on a provincial basis to facilitate the development of regional communities of practice, where trainees have a knowledge of their own unique social service resources and systems.


• Currently we have trained over 100 Affiliated Provincial Trainers. Master trainers are available to mentor Affiliated Provincial Trainers and encourage provincially based efforts.


• NTG-Canada is also involved in advocacy work and has partnered on research project proposals.

Please note that only by taking the NTG Canadian Consortium's affiliated trainer course can someone use the NTG-Canada curriculum materials to provide trainings in Canada.

Taking the USA workshop version, while permitted, does not provide eligibility to become a NTG-Canada provincial affiliated trainer nor to offer trainings in Canada using the NTG-Canada materials.
