We are excited about all of the many different ways Charting the LifeCourse is being used. It was created for and by families and others that wanted to make transformational change. It continues to evolve based on your response to using it.
If you have any specific questions about how materials and tools can be used, contact us.
You have permission to download and use the open-source tools, as is, from our website. You can use these for your own life or on your job to help the people you support. If you want to become more confident in using the tools, we recommend that you attend a LifeCourse workshop or become an Ambassador and join the Nexus Network.
There is not a traditional train-the-trainer model for Charting the LifeCourse. Trainers interested in integrating the framework and tools into their training curriculum or activities become a certified LifeCourse Ambassador and then complete LifeCourse Badges in the Ambassador’s Academy. Each Badge provides training, mentoring, and access to LifeCourse materials specific to different areas of implementation. Ambassadors have access to members-only community and on-going capacity building opportunities. If you are interested in becoming a certified Ambassador, click here.
