CS09: 04

We are often very motivated to develop strong relationships with the families of children enrolled in our programs, but it does not always unfold as organically as we hope. There are many barriers to family engagement, and some of those may be credited to various stressors experienced outside the walls of our programs. Participants will have the opportunity to explore those adversities, reflect on the challenges of not always knowing what happens for families when they go home for the day, and making plans to support them anyway.

Participants will be able to:
identify stressors in families they serve;
utilize strategies for communicating with families facing adversity;
create program protocols for responding to families in crisis.

Participants are expected to attend all sessions of an event in order to receive credit for attending. Participants will be marked as “completed” in the LMS if they attend no less than 85% of the total sessions for the event (see table below) and complete all necessary coursework.

 

Number of sessions a participant must attend in order to be marked as “completed” in the registration system:

Number of sessions in the PLC/Training	Number of sessions participants must attend for credit
2 - 4	All sessions
5	At least 4 sessions
6	At least 5 sessions
7	At least 6 sessions
8	At least 7 sessions
9	At least 8 sessions
10	At least 9 sessions
14	At least 12 sessions
