“Neurosequential Model in Caregiving:”

“We continued the implementation of the Neurosequential Model in Caregiving, a foster parent trauma informed care training program. This is a three year collaboration with the Child Trauma Academy and Dr Bruce Perry. We built a library of video and other resources and training 40 facilitators to continue the program. Over 3,000 unique individuals watched 37 webinars-either live or through the archived video library. This includes foster, kinship,adoptive families, child welfare and behavioral health staff, and DCS staff. The Train the Trainer Facilitator Training program began in the fall of 2017 with 42 participants and the Master Trainer group completed training in 2019. Four program evaluations were completed, demonstrating that most people who watched the webinars are benefiting from them. Most recently we have applied for a $50,000 grant, through the Governor's office of Youth, Faith and Family, with the goal of continuing and expanding this great work.”

“Behavioral Health Interpreter Academy:”

“The Arizona Foundation for Human Service Providers launched the innovative Behavioral Health Interpreter Academy in August 2015. The Interpreter Academy is a 6 week blended learning training program for billingual individuals who provide interpretation services in their agencies. Ten classes were held since 2015. Participants consistently report they have learned both the interpretation skills and Spanish language vocabulary needed to provide higher quality services to monolingual Spanish speaking clients.”

“Mental Health First Aid/Youth Mental Health First Aid”

“Arizona Council staff are trained to provide Mental Health First Aid and Youth Mental Health First Aid training. We have focused this training on supporting foster, kinship, and adoptive parents and the staff who work with them in conjunction with the Neurosequential Model in Caregiving program. Over 100 individuals were trained.”

“UofA Supervisors Training Program”

“We were asked by the University of Arizona to apply with them for a Regional Public Health Training Center Program Grant. The grant was awarded beginning July 2018 to ascertain the training needs of our public health workforce. We completed a needs assessment survey of direct service staff, supervisors, and managers in March/April 2019. Outlines for four training modules were completed this year and one module is completed. We will market these training programs to our members.”
