Description:
UTOPIA NETWORK TRUST (UNT) is a non-profit research institute dedicated to improving the health and education of children. The Trust is non-denominational and non-political.

We believe that all children deserve quality health and education and the opportunity to develop their full potential in order to take their place in society.

We also believe that early detection of parenting issues will ensure positive outcomes for all family members.

In order to fulfill our mission, we are dedicated to helping parents to more effectively identify and manage parenting issues that arise on a daily basis,and find sound workable solutions.

The Utopia Trust is the business development and fundraising branch of the UNT and Market Vintage (Charity Shop www.marketvintage.com) is the first of its fundraising projects. We do not accept any goverment funding and we are an all volunteer staff.

The directive was to start an ethical and environmentally friendly business in our local community to raise much needed funds to start the Trust's online parenting program.

The program will be a Positive Parenting Lab, and will be the Trust's online research laboratory dedicated to improving parenting skills.

We understand how difficult it is to raise happy and healthy children in our fast paced world. Parents and children are faced with different challenges at different times in their lifecycle. The enormous stress of raising a family can be overcome only through positive parental education.

The Trust is developing proactive courses, including, 'Cultivating Emotional Balance", designed to increase the awareness and management of emotional behavior.

Families have proven throughout history to be the single most important building block in a productive society. In today's world, parents and children are faced with different challenges at different times in their lifecycle. Because the dynamics of families can change dramatically over a short period of time, parents need to make consistently positive decisions that benefit their children.

Positive Parenting Lab can help parents to find the answers to those difficult questions.

The front end of this project is the Critical Benchmark Analysis (CBA). This Cyberspace laboratory will collect information from parent/child members, extended family members and educators in order to deliver quality tools and techniques for positive outcomes.

Each of the courses covers several disciplines, helping parents to fully understand how their child is developing; and assists in cultivating emotional balance for all family members.
The courses explore the science of cause and effect, based on physiology, genetics, neuron and cognitive sciences and on the exploration of the developing mind.
