CCT Seminar in Denver 2009.
Using knowledge and practical experience gained in training in 11 countries, she delivers interactive training within a Christian framework. She endeavours to design and deliver training that is relevant to unique circumstances, and has the ability to apply complex processes, theories and systems and to contextualize them for the field.
Her training is competency based and culturally sensitive.
While her main aim is to share knowledge about children at risk, with administrators, pastors, Sunday School teachers, educators, foster and adoptive parents, social workers, residential workers and volunteers, she also encourages and motivates them to continuing to work with one of the most vulnerable group in the world.

Janette is a world leader in the area of Children at Risk, and delivers not only a socially relevant model but does it with love, grace and care, in a way that deeply impacts all those who have the opportunity to participate.
I commend Janette to you as a woman of deep conviction, an International conference speaker, a person who understands the impact of quality training in the lives of at risk children, and as a person with a heart to see long term changes, for needy children who are not able to fend for themselves."
