Description
This in-depth training consists of 15 weeks of mentored professional development to become certified in the PFR evidence-based home-visiting model. During this training, ESIT Service Providers, who have completed PFR Level 1, view and discuss professionally filmed PFR intervention sessions with caregivers and young children to deepen their infant mental health observation and reflection skills. Participants enhance their skills as they work with a caregiver/child dyad as they deliver the 10-week PFR intervention within their own program. Providers receive direct support on how to discuss the caregiver-child videos, and how to implement the PFR concepts and consultation strategies.
By the end of the training, participants are certified to deliver the 10-week evidence-based model with the families on their caseload. Having PFR level 2 and/or level 3 certified providers at each ESIT Provider Agency gives families the ability to access the 10-week PFR program for themselves and their child.
