Hi Nicole! 

Thanks for your good question and for your patience in my reply! 

In a nutshell, Hilary and Dana are still undecided as to continuing the certification program after the 2024 cohort; they are about 50/50 as it stands to date. There are quite a few reasons for this, including wishing to diversify and expand their outreach; organizational training has become a very important focus for them. That said, by the time the 2024 training launches, there will be 11 cohorts of certified and in-training folks, and Hilary, Dana, and Sirius are absolutely committed to providing continued support, training, and gathering opportunities for our community regardless of whether or not they will open new cohorts. 

I hope this helps and I am here if you have further questions! 

Meg

Hi _________.

Thanks for reaching out. Our Body Trust Professional Training just relaunched a could of months ago. Here is the webpage with more info.

There are two tracks to this program: The Groundwork Program includes 14 online modules to work at your own pace. The live online monthly webinar portion of the program (for full Certification) will be scheduled once a year, so the next round would start in summer 2023. 

We will be rolling out the option for folks to get started with the online modules in September. Those people who sign up for that option will then have the opportunity to add on the 2023 live meetings to become fully certified.

We are in the process of updated the webpage, and will be in touch soon with more info and announcements. If you would like to sign up to receive those announcements, you can enter your info here.

Thank you!



Hi Lisabeth.


Thanks for reaching gout. Absolutely! We have a variety of professionals take our trainings/courses (from doctors/therapists/coaches to yoga instructors, photographers, dance teachers, etc).

Our introductory Promoting Body Trust in Your Work e-course is a great way to get started in the journey in becoming a Certified Body Trust Provider. This 30-day self-paced e-course is delivered directly to your inbox daily, so you will have ongoing access.

We are in the midst of restructuring and relaunching our Body Trust Provider Certification program this week. You can sign up here to be included in those announcements.

Thank you.


Hi Samantha.


Thanks for reaching out. 

The live online Zoom portion of the program will be scheduled once a year, so the next round would start in summer 2023. 

However, after the initial launch and start this June, we will be rolling out the option for folks to get started at any time with the online modules (you can sign up at any time and work at your own pace). Those people who sign up for that option will then have the opportunity to add on the 2023 live meetings.

Look out for announcements soon detailing those options. 

Thank you!


Hi Belinda.


Thanks for reaching out!


The Body Trust Provider Training program will be virtual. And, regarding weekly time commitments, it really depends on the individual. Some devote just an hour per week and others dive in and spend several hours. It’s ‘work at your own pace’ so it’s really up to you how much time you want to allocate per week.

The Body Trust Provider Training program has been on hold as Hilary and Dana finalized their book manuscript. We are currently in the midst of restructuring the training and looking at a summer 2022 re-release of the program. We will be emailing our interested list with an update in the next couple of weeks. You can sign up at the bottom of this page to receive those announcements. 

If you are eager to start learning now, you can check out our Promoting Body Trust in Your Work.

We're so glad Hilary and Dana's work resonates with you and that you're interested in bringing Body Trust work to others.
Thank you!



Hi Amy.


Thanks for reaching out, and joining us in our No More Weighting and School for Unlearning programs. 

You would absolutely be welcome in our Body Trust Provider (BTP) training program. No credentials are needed to join any of our programs. We have people join our BTP program from a vast array of fields and in different stages of their careers (eg. doctors, nurses, yoga instructors, etc in beginning of new careers and/or learning/hoping to bring this work into their current jobs).

The BTP program has been on hold as Hilary and Dana finalized their book manuscript. We are currently in the midst of restructuring the training and hoping for a spring/summer 2022 re-release of the program. You can sign up at the bottom of this page to receive announcements. If you are eager to start learning now, you can check out our Promoting Body Trust in Your Work.

We're so glad Hilary and Dana's work resonates with you and that you're interested in brining Body Trust work to others. This work is so needed in the world right now!

Feel free to reply with questions or reach out to any of our Certified Body Trust Providers.

Thank you.


This program has been on hold and we thought we’d resume the training this year, however, due to some unanticipated undertakings (including a book deal. . .yes, Hilary and Dana are writing their first book!), this program won’t pick up again until spring/summer 2022. We should have an update soon. Please submit your info at the bottom of this page to receive announcements.


If you are eager to start learning now, be sure to check out our self-paced Promoting Body Trust® in Your Work e-course. This is a pre-requisite for the Certification Training Program, and a great way to begin learning how to gain language and skills to deepen your client conversations and offer weight-inclusive care.


Another option you might be interested in, is our nine-month School for Unlearning.Each month will be full of richness as we unlearn along with you, holding space for the emergence of this wildly liberating paradigm in your life and in your work. We will be meeting online on the 2nd Thursday each month from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Pacific Time. We began on November 11th, and registration is open up until our second webinar (December 9th). Helping professionals have the option to additionally register for three separate Provider Q&A calls with us where we will discuss how to support your clients in Body Trust and unlearning (one call per quarter). These calls will take place on Fridays from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm Pacific Time on January 14, April 8, July 8.


Thank you.

Thank you, and please fee free to reply with any questions or we will be in touch soon!

Hi Traci.

Thanks for reaching out. 

Yes, our Certification program has been on hold since last summer and we thought we’d resume  the training this fall. However, due to some unanticipated undertakings (including a book deal. . .yes, Hilary and Dana are writing their first book!), this program will continue to be on hold for the foreseeable future (hoping to pick it back up late 2021/early 2022). 


If you are eager to start learning now, we have another option you might be interested in. Our nine-month School for Unlearning (SFU) began February 22nd but registration is open through March 22 and you can catch up by watching the recording. Each month will be full of richness as we un-learn along with you, holding space for the emergence of this wildly liberating paradigm in your life and in your work. And, this year, we have a provider track add-on which includes three 90-minute Q&A calls with Hilary and Dana.

Hi Geneviève.

Below is a link where you can register for Promoting Body Trust in Your Work. The 30-day e-course (lessons) will be delivered to your inbox via email so you can save them for as long as you want. The resource page will also be available for an unlimited time.

https://benourished.org/product/pbt-3p-layton-cartier/

Regarding certification, we emailed out an update earlier that the program has been on hold since last summer and we thought we’d resume the training this fall. However, due to some unanticipated undertakings (including a book deal which the first draft being due within 6 months.), this program will continue to be on hold for the foreseeable future (most likely to pick up momentum late 2021/early 2022). And although Hilary and Dana did facilitate an online cohort last year, they prefer and are hoping to do the next cohort in person (another reason for postponing and having the program on hold).

Thank you and enjoy the course!


Hi Ashley.


Thanks for reaching out! 

We are in the midst of updating our certification webpage, and are hoping that Covid will be ‘in the past’ by the time Fall rolls around. Our certification cohort members are accepted on an application basis (applications would open this summer for the next cohort), so there really is no waitlist at this point.

You can sign up to receive updates on this page (if you haven’t done so already). There’s also a brochure linked on that page with basic info. 

Let us know if you have any other questions, or we will be in touch when our program webpage is updated and published as well as when program dates are announced.

Thank you for your interest in this work! The world needs more body-compassionate and weight-inclusive providers.

Warmly,


Hi Annelise.


Thanks for reaching out! 

We are hoping that Covid will be ‘in the past’ by the time fall rolls around, as we are looking to have an in-person event. We did facilitate our last cohort online this past May so it would be a second option.

You can sign up to receive updates on this page (if you haven’t done so already). There’s also a brochure linked on that page with basic info. 

Let us know if you have any other questions at this point, or we will be in touch soon when our program webpage is updated and published. Applications would open this summer for the fall cohort if the pandemic has calmed down by then.

Thank you for your interest in this work! The world needs more body-compassionate and weight-inclusive providers.

Warmly,
