This hands-on, activity-based, experiential workshop builds family-serving staff members’ parent engagement skills. Participants also increase their understanding of how their personal attitudes and professional practices contribute to or undermine positive partnerships with parents. Promoting positive outcomes for children is best achieved when the whole family is accepted and supported in an approach that strengthens the family. Recognizing the parent-child bond as the first, most important relationship in a child’s life, it is essential to have strong, positive relationships with the whole family—including fathers. Having such relationships allows for programs to implement programs that value principles of family-centered practice. This training promotes awareness of the importance of developing skills in building relationships with families through a variety of reflective and interactive activities.

Cost: $300 per participant.

Participants will be notified by email directly or through their department/organization registration contact. Use of internet applications such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat or current PDF document viewer required and installed prior to training.
