2-day EFFT Caregiver Workshop Facilitation

---

Training guidelines and requirements for the delivery of the two-day general mental health / eating disorders caregiver workshop

In an effort to ensure fidelity and quality of the delivery of the two-day caregiver workshop for general mental health, the following standards have been developed:

Pre-delivery:

Part 1:

·    Didactic/experiential training (*equivalent of 4 days training by certified EFFT trainers 

(if clinician, co-facilitator needs to be a psychotherapist)

*We also recommend observation of the 2-day caregiver workshop where possible (if not feasible, increase supervision hours below)

·      Email the Institute to connect with a certified 2-day EFFT workshop trainer

Part 2 (in this order):

·      Complete paper/pencil tasks (emotion coaching script-builder; caregiver and clinician fluency-builders; therapeutic apology worksheets; Clinician Traps Scale) 

·      Complete 2-4 hours of workshop-specific didactic training (in person or video-meeting) with a certified workshop trainer through the Institute

·      Complete 2-4 hours of workshop-specific experiential training (in person or video-meeting) with a certified workshop trainer through the Institute

*This section at the supervisor’s discretion

NOTE: Caregiver workshop should only include caregiver block chair-work if run by a certified EFFT Therapist or Advanced therapist with experience/comfort with the intervention

Post-delivery: 

·     Complete a minimum of 1 hour of supervision after facilitation of their first caregiver workshop

*Possible exceptions can be made for the certification of individuals with substantial experience in the co-facilitation of this workshop with a certified 2-day EFFT caregiver workshop facilitator.

*If certifying as a group, maximum number is 5 clinician-participants and minimum number of supervision hours increases
