A ‘relationship-based and reflective’ approach has long been synonymous with programs serving children and families. Yet this approach can only truly exist within organizations committed to equity and belonging in the workplace and community. Reflective practice creates brave space for frontline staff to think on their work, its impact on those they serve, as well as on themselves.
This interactive virtual training provides two half-days and 7 hours of highly interactive, experiential learning for providers in health and human services, including mental health, early childhood education, and home visitation.
Utilizing video, journaling, breakout activities, and real-time demonstrations, participants will develop a framework for understanding trauma-informed, equity-centered, resilience-focused reflective practice and supervision, including exploration of parallel process, mindful self-regulation, use of reflective questions to discover deeper contexts, differentiating therapy and supervision, and recognizing the importance of reflective capacity in building relational security.
This highly interactive, experiential training is developed for providers in health and human services, including mental health, early childhood education, and home visitation.
This training is for clinicians/practitioners/service providers.
Supervisors and leaders are encouraged to explore the Foundations of Reflective Supervision and Leadership training.
Stable internet connection with camera and sound is required. The Zoom platform is used.
As this is a post-graduate level training, experience in mental health work is assumed.
