Work with trained professionals in order to incorporate empathy-based interactions into your daily life and workday

CCWF

Facilitator Trainee Workshop

 

        CCWF trains service providers as Facilitators of the

International Child/Parenting Development Program (ICDP-USA) of Parenting Learning Groups,

which support families to strengthen their parent-child interaction.


        “The Best Start” is an evidence-based program which strengthens psycho-social competencies of professionals working with parents and caregivers in their practice, as well as in their facilitation of

Parent Learning Groups.


       The program curriculum covers strengthening Parent + Child skills from Empathy to

Social/Emotional Learning to Cognitive Development to Self-Regulation/Discipline.

Facilitators help parents share experiences and enjoy learning from one another

as they practice implementing the ICDP 8 Guidelines by modeling positive adult-child (and adult-adult) behaviors, communications, interactions, and relationships. As parents gain confidence and empowerment, they support their children's positive development and

success in family, school, and community.


       The trauma-informed, community- based program is adapted and

effective for all Parents/Caregivers and Families!

Learning Objectives:


• To strengthen competencies to create more positive family and school climates.
• To strengthen psycho-social and educational caring skills.
• To facilitate empathy-based social-emotional, cognitive and regulative/positive discipline interactions between parents and

   children.
• To help create better parent/child communications and relationships.

 

(Facilitator Trainees will be invited to become Certified Facilitators, and Ultimately Certified Trainers.)
