Gathering Across Nations

This gathering is exclusively for those trained in Nurturing the Seed (NTS). If you have completed NTS training and are actively delivering or leading the program, you are invited to join this national network. Together, we will strengthen connections, share knowledge, and build capacity to support Indigenous infants, young children, and their families in culturally grounded ways.

If you are trained in Nurturing the Seed and want to join the Gathering Across Nations, reach out to us directly at iemhp.mail@sickkids.ca. We’ll provide details on membership, upcoming forums, and ways to stay connected with the NTS community.
