Contact me by email: Susan Roudebush or by phone or fax: 541-552-1779. I am happy to provide assistance to you as you evaluate interest in your country, create curriculum for approval, and initiate your own Global CDF.

I initiated the CDF program in Oregon, and I have trained ten trainers across our state who now offer CDF training themselves. I created my own CDF training and have taught the CDF training in both face-to-face and distance learning formats for four years to over 100 people.

Further, I have worked with Ankara University, in Ankara, Turkey as they developed their application to become a Global CDF training provider, and I would be quite happy to help you too!

Please e-mail Susan Roudebush if you have any comments.
