Our Trainers
Tania Liska - Vienna & Antwerp
Tania is a clinical and health psychologist based in Vienna, Austria, with a strong focus on children's well-being. Her work spans across various settings, including schools, private practice, and a psychosocial center. Over the years, she has come to realize how profoundly parental guidance can impact the prevention of behavioral difficulties in children. After discovering the APD course, Tania found an effective way to support parents, providing them with the tools they need to better understand and respond to their children's behavior. Through teaching group sessions and offering one-on-one guidance, she has seen great success, truly believing that the APD course is a foundational resource for every household. Tania encourages all parents to consider it as a way to foster healthier, more harmonious family dynamics. Tania can deliver the course in English, Ivrit, Yiddish, German and French.
