HELP THE HELPERS
Professional Development Academy
Cohort #5
May 19, 2021
Motivational Interviewing
The Indiana Head Start Association has kicked-off our brand-new Training initiative for our front-line staff which we have called the Help the Helpers Professional Development Academy. The Help the Helpers Professional Development Academy is designed for our Family Services Staff, Home Visiting Staff, Teaching Staff, and other essential staff who work directly with the families to provide expertise & important insight and tools to help them address families in crisis, set family goals and improve child, parent, and family outcomes.
The Help the Helpers Cohort #5 Professional Development training in May focuses on Motivational Interviewing and Program Staff & Family Partnerships and Engagement! Dr. Steve Sells from the Family Trauma Institute will host an afternoon session that will address families engaging at a higher rate and helps us learn strategic and purposeful trauma responsive strength based motivation techniques. Scott will devise a cocktail just for Head Start/Early Head Start staff to engage apathetic parents who do not understand everything they can get from the program and how Head Start is a true partnership between staff and parents to prepare children for kindergarten.
