The Neufeld Institute

The Neufeld Institute is a non-profit society and charitable organization registered in Canada under the legal name Neufeld Institute Foundation. The Institute was created to develop and deliver the courses created by Dr. Gordon Neufeld, whose life’s work has been to articulate a comprehensive evidence-based model for the unfolding of human potential. His is an attachment-based developmental paradigm.

The mission of the Neufeld Institute is to use developmental science to make sense of children to the adults responsible for them. Its hope is that the insights provided by this evidence-based theory will reconnect parents, teachers and helping professionals to their natural intuition. Our evidence-based belief is that children are meant to be raised in the context of relationship to those who are responsible for them.
