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 strongly 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 1:1 or small-group workshop-specific didactic training (in person or video-meeting) with a certified workshop supervisor through the Institute (list below; number of hours range from 4 - 10 hours depending on prior training and experience, number of participants, etc, as determined by supervisor)
· Complete 1:1 or small-group workshop-specific experiential training (in person or video-meeting) with a certified workshop supervisor through the Institute (number of hours range from 4 -10 hours depending on prior training and experience, number of participants, etc, as determined by supervisor)
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
· Email IIEFFT Board to notify of completion and submit $150 USD administration fee payable online
*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
