Training
Person Centered Thinking
Person Centered Thinking is designed for front line case managers and leaders who are working in the early childhood development space. This training emphasizes a deep understanding of each individual's unique needs, preferences, and goals, promoting a holistic and individualized approach to care.
Building Strong and Productive Teams
Training in building strong productive teams is vital for leaders working in early childhood development. Effective team-leadership training equips leaders with the skills to foster collaboration, trust, and open communication within their teams.
Case Notes and Documentation
This training is geared toward front-line staff and Team Leads/Program Leaders. Learn how strong, well-written case notes drive evidence-based practices and are vital to the work at hand. Includes, do’s, don’ts, ethical and legal responsibilities. In the second part of this training, leaders will learn an efficient and effective way of reviewing case notes for feedback and to drive outcomes.
Facilitation
One Page Profiles
A one-page profile is a powerful and effective page of information about a person which enables people to showcase what is important to them and how best to support them which leads to positive change. It is succinct and very useful in many situations from understanding each other, supporting people, families and children at home, work school, sporting teams, end of life planning and other important areas in a person's life. They provide us with an at-a-glance way of knowing what matters to people, that can be transferable to any circumstance.
Team Building and Collaboration
Not every team knows how to make the most out of their dynamic and that’s what we're here for. In this facilitation your team will not only be engaged in exercises and discussions but will also be left with actionable tools to continue building your team even after we're gone.
Stress and Support
In early childhood development, addressing team building through open discussions about stress and support is essential for creating a cohesive and effective support system for young individuals. Encouraging staff to engage in these conversations helps create a supportive and empathetic environment, fostering a sense of trust and camaraderie among team members.
Defining Roles and Responsibilities
Decerning roles and responsibilities of each position on a team. Defining core responsibilities, decision making, choice and self-determination, and boundaries. Interesting thing is that people often don’t find out the boundaries until they have crossed them and it becomes a problem. Be proactive and work through these things before they become an issue. We work through each position and discuss how they work together, where they may overlap and what challenges we may encounter.
