About Us

Parent Retreat Conference

To provide education, support, advocacy, and caregiver resources that strengthen families.

Parent Retreat Conference

Our Parent Retreat Conferences are more than classes, they’re a time to recharge, connect, and grow. Parents learn trauma-informed approaches to parenting in a welcoming environment, share experiences with others who “get it,” and receive continued support long after the retreat ends.

Positive Impact on Society

I recently attended Mike Canfield's Integration (Invitation) for Aggression Replacement Training and found it to be very informative. While the training is geared towards parents and guardians, I found the skills and concepts presented to be practical for everyday life. Mike effectively teaches easy-to-grasp techniques that can significantly impact how individuals respond to negative stimuli. I believe this training could be beneficial for a wider audience and have a positive effect on society as a whole.

Positive Impact on Society

"I recently had the opportunity to speak with Mike Canfield, and I came away very impressed by the importance of his work. Mike has written several books and is deeply committed to parent education, an area that, frankly, does not get nearly enough attention. We bring children into the world with no required license, no real handbook, and often very little practical preparation. That makes the kind of education Mike provides incredibly valuable. His work helps parents, foster parents, and families better understand the responsibility, challenges, and skills involved in raising children well. This is not just helpful on an individual level; it is the kind of work that can have a positive impact on society as a whole. Mike’s nonprofit [Family Success Northwest] mission is one I fully support. If you care about stronger families, better parenting, and healthier communities, I highly recommend connecting with and supporting Mike Canfield. "

A Heart Behind the Organization

"I had a great conversation with Mike from Family Success Northwest and was truly inspired by his passion for supporting families and traumatized children. You can really see the heart behind the organization and the impact they are making through trauma-informed education, support, and parenting retreats. If anybody ever comes across Mike or has the opportunity to hire him to speak, what he has to say is truly empowering. "

"I was so moved by the mission of Family Success Northwest. The parenting and youth classes he provides are invaluable. I am actively looking for agencies in my local chamber of commerce [Sequim WA] that could benefit from his organization."
