Training Summary: 

This training will review the basic principles, techniques, and popular theories related to family centered services. This training is best suited for providers who have an interest in learning more about family centered services, particularly if most of their service delivery has involved individual based models. Through this training, we will review how to engage and conceptualize presenting issues through a family systems lens. We will also discuss cultural considerations, including how presenting issues in families may be a result of sociopolitical factors and their intersection with the identity of individuals of a family. Participants will learn relation skills to work with youth and their families in various situations.

 

Class Objectives:

1.      Participants will identify, at least, three approaches/skills in engaging families rather than just individuals

 

2.      Participants will practice, at least, two theoretical models of family support strategies.

 

 

3.      Participants will identify, at least, two cultural considerations to apply to assessment and support when working with families

 

 

How can participants utilize their new skills and knowledge after the training to reinforce their learning?

·        Increase awareness through self-reflective activities of the ways in which we can increase identify, challenge, and decrease implicit bias when working with BIPOC and other marginalized families.  

·        Participants will apply concepts to client care, including applying concepts to engagement, assessment, and support strategies.

·        Participants will build on their knowledge and practice of the concepts learned by integrating the information in supervision and other consulting spaces.
