The Nurtured Heart Approach® (NHA) is a relational framework for creating healthy relationships across a variety of settings. Developed by Howard Glasser to help intense children succeed by using their intensity in positive ways, the NHA can be used to help all relationships flourish and thrive.

NHA strategies focus on building inner wealth in youth, staff, and others by creating, recognizing, and energizing moments of success, refusing to give energy to negativity, and setting clear and consistent expectations and consequences. Through these strategies, the NHA helps children transform the way they perceive themselves, their caregivers, and the world around them.
