National Training's aim is to train and support individuals and organisations directly involved with children, youth and families. For instance: child caregivers, teachers, social workers, pastors, adoptive parents, foster carers and small group home staff. 

While some training on children at risk is available, much is not suitable in context or education level for those living in developing countries and actively engaged with children. Also, it is often targeted to managers, administrators or University trained social workers, and as such is too theoretical and impractical for child caregivers and others who may have limited literacy and child care experience.

The National Training programs are a response to the many requests received for practical advice and assistance. They are practical, relevant and contextualised for the unique needs of this group.
