Description:

We are thrilled to have you join us for the Facilitating Attuned Interactions (FAN) Training!

This is a training for Child Welfare workers and Foster Parents that supports the reflective capacity of professionals working with caregivers and families. Facilitating Attuned Interactions is a model from the Erikson Institute that promotes self-awareness of providers and increased attunement to caregivers that results in improved professional/parent relationships and improved service recipient outcomes. FAN has been a core framework for pediatricians, mental health clinicians, home visitors, and child welfare professionals across the US. The model emphasizes slowing down interactions with service recipients to increase focus on relationships, which has been shown through research to decrease the amount of time for families to reach their identified goals. FAN is a huge asset to a number of TN's workforce sectors, and we're so excited to bring this opportunity to child welfare.

*Both days (2) must be attended to complete the training. You must register for both days separately.
