Join the National Parent Instructor Association (Natpia)
Founded in 2019, the National Parent Instructor Association (Natpia) was created to bring together a nationwide community of certified parent instructors and support them in growing their practices. Our mission is to elevate the work of parenting educators, connect them with families and agencies in need of their expertise, and help them thrive in a rapidly evolving field.
As a member of Natpia, you gain access to a trusted national directory where you can list your services and increase your visibility among courts, child protective services, probation departments, attorneys, schools, and private clients seeking qualified parenting professionals. A Natpia listing adds instant credibility to your practice and makes it easier for potential clients and referring agencies to find and trust you.
We welcome all certified parent instructors — regardless of your training agency, theoretical orientation, or model. Whether you’re just starting your practice or are an experienced provider looking to expand your reach, Natpia offers a supportive network and valuable tools to help you succeed.
Our association also keeps you up to date on the latest developments in parenting education, including new research, emerging modalities, and evolving standards in the field. Through Natpia, you’ll connect with like-minded professionals, share knowledge and resources, and continue to grow as a provider.
Join Natpia today and become part of a growing national network dedicated to strengthening families and empowering the professionals who support them.
