Curated Tools + Resources for Families and Professionals
At The Layne Project®, we believe lasting change requires more than one tool, one training, or one program. That’s why we’ve curated resources we trust — tools, trainings, frameworks, and inspiration that support families, professionals, and systems in reducing conflict, building resilience, and safeguarding childhoods.
