Level 3: Agency Trainer Training – By Invitation Only
What will be covered during Level 3 Agency Trainer Training?
- During the first 3 weeks, participants will view parent-child observation videos to hone observation skills and practice applying PFR concepts. Additional readings will cover topics in attachment, understanding children’s behavior through a social-emotional lens, and providing reflective consultation. Participants will meet weekly with their PFR master trainer to discuss this content.
- During the next 10 weeks, participants will receive weekly online mentoring as they intervene with a 2nd caregiver/ child dyad at their own site. Learners will increase skills in providing PFR intervention as they gain experience with an additional dyad. Providers will record themselves doing a full PFR session with the caregiver/child to pass a second fidelity video in order to become a Certified PFR Agency Trainer.
- Agency Trainers will receive 2 sessions after completing their second family to prepare them to train others within their agency.
- Following the initial 15 weeks of Level 3 training, Agency Trainers will participate in monthly group reflective consultation facilitated by a PFR Master Trainer to support them as they train and mentor others within their organization.
