TCIF Train the Trainer: TCI for Families

This intensive five-day TCIF train-the-trainer certification course provides agency trainers with the tools to teach crisis prevention strategies and crisis intervention techniques to adults who care for children in their homes. Trainers are prepared to coach learners during skill practice sessions, to use role playing, to facilitate small group discussions, and to handle resistance to training.

There are opportunities to practice activities and to gain immediate training experience in the subject matter.

TCIF stresses crisis prevention and crisis de-escalation in ways that help children learn to avoid losing control. Participants will receive all the necessary materials to deliver the training.

Participants will be able to:

• Present strategies for dealing with upset children to prevent and de-escalate potential crises
• Teach methods to help adults avoid power struggles and enlist a child’s cooperation
• Show how a crisis can be an opportunity for the child to learn new coping skills and,
• Effectively deliver TCIF training in their agencies
