5 Obtaining Video Consultation from Peers & Incredible Years Coaches, Mentors & Trainers The opportunity to obtain video review of your IY group process and clinical skills from peers, coaches, mentors, or trainers is scary, exciting, and a special privilege. Sharing your work with others and obtaining feedback from colleagues will result in continual improvement of your therapeutic skills and high fidelity to the intervention. Research has shown that high fidelity to the IY methods (e.g., role play practices, coaching, brainstorms, video mediation) and therapeutic processes (e.g., nurturing relationship, reframing, collaboration, modeling, problem solving) leads to improved outcomes in parent and child behavior change as well as client satisfaction. Moreover, by sharing your skills with others (both the difficult therapeutic moments as well as the successful ones), you will be supporting others to improve their own practice as well. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF ONGOING VIDEO PEER REVIEW AND PEER COACHING? Increased quality of program being delivered to families. Continued opportunity to hone therapeutic skills and be challenged by others. Opportunity of new group leaders to obtain support from coaches who are certified. Internal gratification and feeling of competence knowing that program is being delivered with fidelity. Knowledge that increased fidelity leads to better outcomes for families. WHAT ARE THE PRIMARY GOALS OF THE CONSULTATION DAY? Focus on group leader/therapist group process and methods such as setting up role plays and rehearsals, doing buzzes, dealing with resistant parents or court mandated child welfare parents. Focus on tailoring the program according to parents culture and family issues as well as children s developmental needs (e.g., ADHD, Depression, Developmental Delays). Learn about new developments in Incredible Years materials. Registration Information: FEE: $ per participant (Due one month prior to training: March 6, 2016): REGISTER EARLY! Space is limited.
