Title: Facilitating Attuned Interaction (FAN) Training (SOLD OUT)
Date(s): September 19 & 20th, 2024 (both days are required)
Time: 8:30am- 4:00pm CST
Description:
This virtual two-day training is for programs and systems that seek to promote parent engagement and build staff reflective capacity.
Who is the FAN approach for?
Home visitation programs
Center-based infant and early childhood programs
Early intervention Part C programs
Infant and early childhood mental health services including consultation
Pediatric residency training, primary care pediatrics, and NICU staff
Child welfare agencies
With the FAN approach to home visiting practitioners focused more on parenting, were more reflective and collaborative, and felt less burnout. Supervisors were more self-aware and asked more questions. They were better able to help home visitors process their feelings, and provided supervision which was more reflective.
*Though some FAN trainings are specific to certain sectors, this one is open to all sectors working within the Infant and Early Childhood fields.
