NETworX regional centers, with specific competency and capacity standards confirmed by NETworX-USA, serve local sites. These centers accept responsibility for recruiting, training, and coaching of local sites. Regional sites contract with NETworX-USA for access to the curriculum and its updates, mutual learning, and for national data analysis & reporting.

Local sites contract for NETworX membership with regional centers at an initial annual fee of $5,775. As sites become more seasoned and in need of less support, the licensing fee decreases. A NETworX license includes curriculum materials, training, membership in NETworX Basecamp, and in an outcomes database.

Training Time: 2 hrs

Connections Matter (Prevent Child Abuse NC)
Training Time: 2 or 4 hr trainings available

Connections Matter is a community-based initiative that explores how the connections we make in life profoundly impact our brain's ability to grow and our own individual abilities to cope and thrive. Through our workshops and trainings, we educate the public on the intersecting topics of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), trauma, brain development, and resilience. We utilize an evidence-informed program, along with real-world and concrete examples, to demonstrate how ACEs adversely affect brain development and health outcomes - and how caring connections serve as a primary buffer in the negative effects of trauma. Connections Matter ultimately strives to promote the building of more resilient, compassionate, and trauma-informed communities - thus allowing all children and individuals to succeed.
